Former professional soccer player Joshua Phillips was enjoying a boat ride when he took out his phone to record something unusual. A couple of huge sea lions majestically sailing around as well.
“The vessel looked a little off, and we got closer and closer and realized there were two massive animals on board,” Phillips told The Seattle Times.
Phillips took the video in Eld Inlet near Olympia in Washington, United States.

There were reports of a third sea lion trying to join his buddies, but apparently they turned him away. You know the saying, if two huge sea lions are dangling their flippers on a tiny boat that looks like it’s gonna sink any second, three’s a crowd.

It is still unclear who owns the vessel or how long the pair was using it for their amusement.
However, it’s obvious they nearly sunk it. According to The Marine Mamma Center, these sea lions may grow to 11 feet (3.25 m) in length and weigh almost 2,500 pounds (1120 kg).

Funny thing as the recorders boat moves around it looks like the sealions are sailing the boat they are on!
Junior, I told you it was your responsibility to take the pups out for a ride when we got them, so go do it. NOW!
I was attending classes at a small Tech school in Seattle near one of the canals close to the Fremont Bridge. During a break, a classmate and I went to sit near the water. As she was talking, I saw something big break the surface of the water and then disappear. A few seconds later and it did it again. I interrupted my friend and said "Is that a sealion?" Yep..sure enough it was. Only thing is, this was a fresh water canal that was past a set of locks to get into Lake Washington. Clever little bugger made it past the locks unnoticed. Turns out..I was witnessing the infamous Herschel.... He was making his way to fresh water to see how the fishing was.
I took a double take when I saw the photo ... at first I thought it was Donald Trump sailing but realized it was two massive, obese gigantic sea lions. It's a simple mistake.
Ummm Yea My boat just sunk... How? Oh a couple of sea lions. YOU DONT COVER THAT
The new series of The Love Boat seems to have serious limitations on its production costs.
Told the little woman we would go on a cruise for our honeymoon...
Living in San Francisco, I've seen my share of sea lions! NEVER do I recall seeing a pair that big!!!
This reminds me of the time the Russian navy got locked out from their own submarine by a sunbathing walrus.
Adorava ver este espectáculo ao vivo são grandes mas muito engraçados!!!
My first thought was also "bow go and explain THAT to your insurance agent"...
