That's so cool! Did you manage to get very close to them? I saw some while fishing early in the morning but never really up close. They just swim on their back with their flippers in the air. So funny.

Thanks for the comments guys. Marc, I was close enough to almost touch them. I got to about 3 or 4 meters from them. I used a zoom lens to photograph them though.
Had a great day. We were looking for penguins but only saw one and wasn't able to get a good shot.

Cheers

Gary
