Sammy The 2nd

[Conure88]

ok, well nealy a yeah ago now i think it was, a beautifull seal named sammy was murderd down here in albany. and all this time alot of people have been morning his loss and missing him being around.
Well im proud 2 be what looks like the 1st person to meet "sammy the 2nd"
Late this arvo while i was fishing all the fish freaked and took off and i couldnt figure out why. i herd a noise like when a dolphin blows out air and looked 2 see a 1 1/2 - 2mtr biiiig ass male seal swimming around. and his pretty friendly to. iv been down there fishing along side him all night.
His one lazy falla tho thats 4 sure lol. he had fun playing with some praws i gave him. he didnt eat them, just swam in circles with them on the tip of his nose lol
I also climbed down a lader 2 the top of the water and he came rite over, about a meter away from me and took a fish that i chucked to him, he had fun playing with it for a good 15mins before he decided 2 eat it finally
I tried REALLY hard to get some photos of him, and i would have had some GREAT ones if my camera was charged!! but i had 2 use my phone
And its a REAL shame cause he seemed to pose for the pics, just laying on his side watching me watching him lol
Im going fishing again 1st thing in the morning, and HOPEFULLY he will still be there, i think he will cause it seemed like he was gonna bunk there 4 the night. and IF he is i swear ill get some great photos of him! but for now you'll have 2 make do with crappy dark, blured out photos off my phone
Anyways here you go, i hope you can tell what he is in these pics lol. enjoy!

What a fantastic experience for you.

Oh wow Holly, that wouldve been so amazing. Hope he keeps coming back. I'd love to get my hands on the ********who killed Sammy I met Sammy and he was just so gorgeous and funny.

trust me so would i jules, i cried like a baby when i herd the news, and if getting poor sammy wasnt good enough, they also killed a number of joes

But anyways! on a bright note again! as if ""sammy the 2nd"" wasnt enough!!!
Last night i spoke 2 some fishermen when i was out at the jetty and they invited me out with them 2day! it was AWSOME!!
Iv only ever once before been on a boat, and i was only young. i got to watch the sun set from a whole new perspective! it was awsome!!!!
And not only that! when we got the fish. a small family of dolphins came up 2 join us! they swam around the net for ages, but once we started pulling in the fish they came rite up next 2 the boat, so close you could have touched them if the boat stopped bobbing lol
I was leaning over the edge the whole time feeding them! and just as i thort it couldnt get much beter, about 4-5 australian sea lions came 2 steal what they could! and they were the same as the dolphins, taking what i fed them over the edge! the smallest one was only a small pup! sooooooo cute!!!!! it was amazing! and once again i didnt take my cam cause iv run outta batteries
But its all good cause i got a open invite to come back whenever i want as oftern as i want! lol
So as soon as i get a bit of money im gonna stock up on batteries and go out to try and get some good shots! its just wonderfull being out there!

Anyways thats enough "talking it up" for one day lol! new rule! im not aloud 2 post anymore stories without lots of pics and vid clips! ill get some loaded REALLY soon!!! i promise!!

The news of Sammy made me sick. I hate these people that hurt animals for fun, its a proven fact these freaks will normally turn onto humans in the future. They do not deserve to live. Good to hear about the new seal though and the fishing, sounds like fun.

[Natenla]

Oh that would be one of the most wonderful experiences!! You lucky thing Holly!!
And Yes the Sammy incident was absolutly disgusting!!!! These people need torturing!!

[Conure88]

wow! did the news of smmy really spread that far? or was it posted on here? i cant remember
Yeah it was the BEST!!!! and now we have some humpbacks and southern rite whales in the bay! so as soon as the weather clears up a bit (prolly this week end) im going straight back on that boat with a camera!!!!
Ill also take a camera with me next time i go out with tafe! we have 2 catch hurt pelicans! hahaha man do we look funny trying 2 catch them! gets a huge crowd! lol

Awesome, I just love the whales. What are you studying at TAFE Holly?

[Conure88]

yeah so do I! i go nuts for Whales, Sharks, Dolphins and Seals lol
Umm im doing my Cert III CLM at the moment

Cool.

[Helen]

What a great choice for a course, it must be really interesting.

[Conure88]

lol yeah its pretty awsome! except for the plant side of things, i know NOTHING about plants, and they bore me to tears! but i guess it goes hand in hand.
The animal side of things is awsome tho! last week we had two possums in class. i had to catch one to pass around to people.
Macca and Andre also came in, and everyone came into our class (from the other classes) to come and get photos of them cause they thort they were so pretty.
Its really great there, and some time soon were going up to Perth to go to the zoo and stuff! so should be fun!

thats pretty cool(finding a new sammy)
i was fishing at rockingham pier when i lived in perth
had a ball
got a nice sized bream every minute.
then the fish spooked and the resident dolphin came along.
he had his share of the fish i think taste like crap.
its pretty friendly too
