bob up

A standout moment on Tamara's nine-week expedition in Antarctica's Weddell Sea was when two seals bobbed up to the surface to take a deeper breath after falling asleep alongside the ship.

His boat capsized, then righted itself and began turning over and over; each time his exasperated head bobbed up, he gasped for his possibly final breath.

Miraculously, he bobbed up between the web of metal legs and braces to break back through into the open air.

A visitor will see countless merry little ducktails bobbing up and down in the clearish water, happy to hang out at one of Seattle’s best party houses on any given sunny afternoon.

He dived under the boat and bobbed up on the other side.
