Sea lion sneaks onto San Diego boat, wakes owner up with snores
SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- A San Diego boat owner got the surprise of a lifetime when he woke up to find a baby sea lion sleeping on the bunk next to him!
At about 2:30 a.m., Michael Duffy woke up to the sound of snoring. He looked around, didn't see anything and it went away. He figured maybe a friend had crashed for the night in his boat, which is docked at the Yacht Club.
About four hours later, he woke up to a sneeze and more snoring.
"Right there, curled up, just like a dog, on one of my bunks was a tiny, little baby sea lion," Duffy said.
"I was shocked," he said.
Duffy woke the pup up and shooed him out of the boat.
"He followed my instructions like a dog," Duffy said. "Then every once in a while he looks back and he didn't look like he wanted to leave."
