It’s video almost too cute to ignore.
It’s also a sea lion captured on video in a way most people never get to see.
Andrew Hahn, his family and his fiance’s family were sailing off Santa Barbara about 2 p.m. Wednesday.
They noticed they were being followed by a sea lion. Make that a most curious, active and adorable sea lion.
Hahn grabbed his GoPro Hero3, which can film underwater.

Olympic 200m Butterfly Champion, Chad le Clos joined us recently in Barcelona for a photoshoot! Watch him in action, as he works out the latest arena swimsuits and accessories, paying particular attention to the end ‘penguin’ scene.
The battle between James Magnussen and Cameron McEvoy for Australia’s – and potentially the world’s – freestyle sprint crown is shaping as swimming’s newest rivalry but the friends are such unlikely combatants that neither really believe that rivalry is the correct description.
Dual world champion Magnussen is an alpha-male personality, tall and solidly built and loves his rugby league. McEvoy seems to be more of a thinker, is 13 centimetres shorter, 24 kilograms lighter and cannot talk enough about his passion for science. He travelled to the swim team’s pre-Commonwealth Games training camp in Manchester with two books – The World Treasury of Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics and Tuesdays with Morrie – and during his spare time bought another.
“He loves all that type of stuff,” said McEvoy of Magnussen’s support for NRL team Canterbury.
“He can take his mind away from the sport and emerse into that and I can do the same thing with physics or whatever it may be.”

No one would have blamed Matt Abood if, during the course of his unlucky journey, he decided that it was all too hard and gave swimming away. The freestyle sprinter has made three world championship teams for Australia and was a member of the 4×100-metre freestyle relay team that won gold in Shanghai in 2011, but has never swum at an Olympic or Commonwealth Games.
Former freestyle world record holder Eamon Sullivan has announced his immediate retirement from competitive swimming due to ongoing shoulder injury concerns.
Once holder of the 50m and 100m freestyle world records, West Australian Sullivan – who won two Olympic silver medals in Beijing – had been plagued by shoulder issues in recent times.
The 28-year-old had been hoping surgery – which caused him to withdraw from the Glasgow Commonwealth Games team – would extend his swimming career until the 2016 Olympics.

This summer, Ellie Simmonds is encouraging the nation to get back in the water and rediscover their love of swimming with an exclusive SwimBritain training session.
A new four-week study by British Gas SwimBritain reveals that swimming increases sleep quality, energy levels and fitness. In fact, it can improve well-being by 20% after only one 30 minute session – just one more reason to join Ellie and get back in the pool.
