We found a mostly decomposed seal or sea lion with a 6-8' rope tied around its neck and the other end tied around an old boat motor. I guess it could be that someone found a dead sea lion and decided to use it to chum the Olympic?!?

Sorry the pics are so bad. Vis was an optimistic 10' down there today.

An Overview

The motor used as a weight

The body

The second dive was a Buchannon Reef. The vis was maybe 10' there as well with a lot of surge.
