On the shore we can see rather substantial seal cows moving and lying around (as reminder, seal bulls wear darker furs and are larger).

 

The water level still seems high, but has fallen since some days back. Material heaped by the waves has changed the shoreline. The wind is blowing from the south-west, 12m/s, the temperature of both water and air are around 3 degrees. In winter there is more wind at sea, the water is "light" and appreciable choppiness occurs even in relatively calm days. There are no signs of ice formation in the bays of western Saaremaa yet.
