A Large California Sea Lion dropped by Point Richmond Beach early Saturday and stirred up what was starting out to be a typical lazy morning. Earl, as one neighbor called him, apparently spent the night on a nearby dock. When he decided to try out another dock with a boat moored to it, the owner decided to take action and chase him off the dock. Earl cooperated with only a minor objection, or maybe it was a grunt. This pinniped was next spotted at the Rees pilings where he decided to scratch an itch by rubbing barnacles clinging to the surface. Then he decided licking was a better choice..
At first earl was estimated at 600 pounds but this quickly jumped to 800 pounds. The heaviest estimate came in at over 1000 pounds. All agreed that Earl has a certain attitude.
Earl eventually moved south and has not been seen since.
