I could hear these guys barking and causing a ruccus on the harbour from 2km away on my front porch.
They don't stay for a long time... they are just moving through on their way south to California, but you always know when they've arrived!

Thanks @Gargron for allowing us to do this the pure non-profit and FOSS way by saying no to earlier offers, some of which would have given you more than 10x the payout. I have been inspired by your vision about this project from the moment I met you 5+ years ago. It takes a lot of courage and […]
