Once a year we get hundreds of thousands of pyrosomes in our waters. The first time we saw them I spent the whole trip out of the water researching what they might be

FWIW they ended up seeming harmless, my "neighbors" were swimming with them



Where is this?


I found this, looking for more pictures of the critters: https://www.insider.com/pyrosome-sea-creature-bloom-worries-... apparently, there was a 'bloom' of them in the pacific northwest in 2017


Avalon harbor, catalina island, southern california


How's your internet for work out there? I considered coming out to work from the island during the pandemic, but wasn't sure about the aforementioned.
