Hike: Alamere Falls


On Sunday, Rho, Sue, Lee and I drive out to Point Reyes National Seashore for a hike. Our goal is Alamere Falls. We parked at Palomarin and hike north along the coast line. At Double Point we turn inland to skirt east of Bass and Pelican Lakes. At the top of the falls, Lee leaves us to hike out to Bear Valley visitor center another 10 miles north. Sue, Rho and I scramble down the loose rocks to Alamere Falls. We shared sandwiches from the Lagunitas Deli, snapped some photos and headed back

Paddle: Tiburon


At 11:30 Lee and I launched from Schoonmaker (SeaTrek) Beach in Sausalito. We made our way across Richardson Bay to Peninsula Point. There was a strong ebb tide flowing out of Racoon Straights towards the Golden Gate Bridge so we decide not to cross but stay on the Tiburon side. We mashed our way against the tide to the Corinthian Yatch club and then traced the shoreline.
After check out Kiel Cove and deciding that would be a nice place to live, we rounded Bluff Point and headed north. We worked against the tide and wind until San Quentin came into view at that point we decided we had gone far enough so we turned back at Pt. Chauncey. It was a beautiful day for the beginning of March.
