Sammy Seal becomes ferry passenger

Brisbane Water's resident seal, Sammy, became a ferry passenger last week.

He travelled on the Codock II on its run from Davistown to Woy Woy and back again.

"Our newest passenger Sammy Seal would not hop off and provided a truly unique ferry trip for our passengers," said Central Coast Ferries in a social media post.

"Skipper Brett has been working passenger ferries for over 25 years and this was the first time he has ever carried a seal aboard.

"Sammy Seal travelled across to Woy Woy, hopped off to put on a show for the locals, then hopped back on next trip and travelled back to Davistown.

"We have never seen anything like it - so special."
