Drove down to Santa Cruz on Friday night and camped out in the Harbor Inn. Had a big salmon dinner at the Crow's Nest in Santa Cruz harbor. In the morning we got up and drove north to Davenport Landing (just north of the town of Davenport). It was a well protected cove with no surf. Marcus and Richard wanted to slam the miles down and for a change I was the one dawdling wanting to take photos and eat my Luna bars. We made good time in mild conditions, a light head wind but swell from the NW pushed us along. The kelp was so thick that egrets could land and and walk the beds. There were many otters but they are hard to photograph being shy and ducking under water as we approached. The geology of the area is different from the Bay Area. All the sandstone is laid down flat and not heaved up like the Marin Headlands. We made good time and finished under four hours.
