Envy
After the sea lions, the Pelicans discovered also how easy it is to catch fish near our ship during dark hours. Normally these birds fly and dive from the sky in the water when they see a school of fish. Now they sit on the rail of the ship and wait calm for their chance. The deck-lights attract enough fish to drop themselves off the rail into the water and catch some fish.
The sea lions have no problems with humans but Pelicans is another story. When a Pelican got some fish, he hardly gets the time to eat it because the sea lions will immediately chase him away.
