| Lowrie Bay to Raft Cove: 11.0 nautical miles |
I departed Lowrie Bay at 9:30 am. I
wanted an earlier start in case the wind rose later in the day but it
was tough to rouse myself, it being my first time with a roof over my
head in over two weeks. The cabin shelter here is rough but rodent
free and functional. It was just as well because I had a light wind
at my back for the entire paddle, ideal conditions.
I paddled in to check out Sea Otter
Cove and there was a Sea Otter right there at the entrance! The
Helen Islands also at the cove's entrance looked like they would be a
nice place to camp.
I passed by San Josef Bay but did not
go in because it was to big to explore. Hopefully, I can arrange a
trip here with some friends at a later date because it would be great
area to investigate. Next, Cape Palmerston wasn't difficult to
paddle around because the swell is low today. I saw a very large
pile of logs on one beach, as if made by a Lodge of Giant Beavers.
Raft Cove was a busy place; five to ten
surfers in the water and another dozen people milling about on shore
with tents along the beach. With so many people around, I didn't
think I would be able to stay at the cabin. I brought my kayak onto
the beach a ways away on the south side of the Macjack River and went
to investigate. There was no one there. I doubled back, hauled my
boat back into the water, paddled through the turbulent water where
the river reached the ocean and moved myself in.
I don't drink coffee often but there
was some left in the cabin and I brewed myself up a cup, cooking it
up Slovenjian style.
