Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 18/10/2025Scene from a Trump protest earlier this year. He has to go. He must be removed from office to save what little dignity and TAX MONEY we have left so we can start fixing this. 060
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 14/10/2025I SO want to try to sneak into a beach scrum some day to cuddle a sea lion. It will smell horrible and I’ll probably get my face torn off or lose an ear or something, BUT JUST LOOK AT THEM! 😱🥰 050
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Found another video where you get a great view of the baby orca! 040
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 07/10/2025Give it a sec to see Thing 2. Just a couple others, floatin’ around, eating mollusks, just enjoying being alive. But we just HAD to go on and choose the tree of knowledge… 020
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 06/10/2025I love humpback whales. They’re familial, curious, playful, intelligent… Their vomit doesn’t smell nearly as delightful as a sperm whale, but they’re a danged good whale. For real on the sperm whale thing. Look up “ambergris.” Fancy perfumes are made of sperm whale vomit. 010
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Humpback whales! Caught a great fin wave right at the beginning. 010
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Sea lion flash mob. This video is from the year the sea lions took over Monterey, both marinas, almost the entire beach. Not sure why, but they stayed weeks and weeks longer this year. 010
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 03/10/2025This is a baby Ocean Sunfish, one of the weirdest fish around. They like to wave their top and bottom fins around. It’s how they swim. Super weird. This one was about the size of a dinner plate, but they grow to the size of a small SUV. Huge. 121
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 02/10/2025This is the kind of stuff that you REALLY find in Portland. It’s a weird place. Not a war zone. 151
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Here’s another example of otters digging a boat. Different time, same boat. 293
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 30/09/2025Otters like to nap on boats that have a low, flat part to haul out on. This one was sleeping here every morning when I walked past for work for weeks and weeks. 1112
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 25/09/2025So dainty. Lifting that back pinky and everything. 😅 I have LOTS of sea lion videos. They’re a buncha clowns. 000
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 24/09/2025ORCAS! This was my first time seeing them in person outside of SeaWorld as a child. Watch for the baby! Pops up a couple times. Killer whales indeed. Just killer. 822627
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 24/09/2025I thought it was so cool seeing the feet through the clear waters of Monterey Bay. The video is about a year old at this point. This bird might be injured. I’d be a lot better at social media if I knew the species of the things I post. 😅 042
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 22/09/2025I’d recommend this to anyone mechanically and electrically minded. And plumbing minded. And painting. And who doesn’t mind cramped spaces. Sailing-minded, oddly, is the optional part. Most boats in the Marina never leave, even if people live on them. 100
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 22/09/2025The idea of living on a boat was born of necessity. Coastal California became too expensive for me following a life change, but renting a slip is less than half the price of a studio apartment in Monterey. Landing an affordable boat that came with a slip was the real trick. 130
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 22/09/2025But, big enough is big enough, so living in a smallish plastic tube feels wonderful to me. The ocean as my backyard, otters for neighbors. The slip next to me has a MAGA flagged boat, but I’ve never actually seen those people, so I can’t complain about those ones specifically. 100
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 22/09/2025This is my sailboat, the Enchanted Lady. Check her out! I’ll post interiors next. At 33’ long, she’s JUST big enough for comfort for me. I’m 6’2”, and standing inside my head just barely has clearance, but I can stand upright without slouching. 100
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Whales. Humpback whales hang in Monterey Bay nearly year-round. This video is from a professional whale watching tour, but I’ve done whale watching on my own boat as well. Hard to get a good video while steering a sailboat near 10 or 20 other boats all trying to get close but not too close. 1122
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 21/09/2025FREE! FREE! Frog free at last! Thank God this tiny frog free at laa-aaast! 000
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 21/09/2025Just found a tiny frog smaller than my fingernail. Trapped in a sunken cement patio. The next video is after I scooped the little bud out of there back into its home. 000
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 20/09/2025It’s not only sea creatures you sea when living on a sailboat! Sometimes, you get to see the armed services commandeering public property while wasting taxpayer dollars on poorly thought out publicity stunts! 200
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 19/09/2025MOOOOON JEEEEEELLLLY! It’s the gel, the gel with the MIDAS TOOOOOOUUCH!!! 020
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Fascist sealion walks over competition to achieve own goals. 210
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Not my boat, but I love it when otters do this on mine. It causes damage, it’s loud, and I still love it every time. 130
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 14/09/2025So many different birds hang out in Monterey. Sea birds and song birds and migratory birds and LOTS of hummingbirds. Of course, we also get snow birds, but we tolerate pest species for the sake of the local economy. 020
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 10/09/2025You never know, living on a sailboat, when you’ll wake up and the ocean will be filled with something crazy looking. 6737
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Sea lions take over the beaches near the slip where I had the boat every year. 030
Daemon Maxwell @daemon73.bsky.social · 08/09/2025I posted much content on Instagram that I got while living on a sailboat in Monterey Bay. I’m going to start this account by reposting some of that here. 170
