What an enterprising little lad. And it came to you just like that? I guess that visit was more entertaining than work. I hope it found back safely

It's amazing. We were underway - at a slow speed (4 knots), really, but anyway propellers were spinning down in the water. He fearlessly approached ship's stern and climbed up. Spent some time on social visit, looking around with great interest and let us make some pictures.
I imagine what his mama told him when he returned home :)))
More seriously I suppose he was swimming in close proximity to the vessel, was dragged by water disturbancies to propellers and, struggling for life fiercely, managed to climb aboard.
Ht was launched safely into water after we stopped for a while.

I should add that in this specific place the vessel has not a vertical side but slipway which gave him chance to board

I am glad to hear that the little lad managed to save himself by climbing aboard. He seemed quite fearless though and looks around curiously. Good, that you were able to put him into the water again.

Indeed, his mother may not have been pleased.;D

Какой красавец!!!
Это морской котик?

это тюлененыш :), насколько я понимаю.

Лапуся! А где это его так засняли? На Дальнем Востоке?

юго-западная африка, знаменитый Берег Скелетов :)

what a lovely little lad)))

Жаль - скорее всего, его судьба быть съеденным акулой :-(

Обалденный зверик!
