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.

Paddle: Point Lobos

On Monday, Lee, Kim and I launched from Montestary Beach and paddled out to Point Lobos. Then we traced our way back along the shore to Whaler's Cove. Then we headed north to Stillwater Cove where we stopped for lunch. Check out the photos and map.

Paddle: Monterey

Lee, Kim, and I travel south to Monterey for a couple of paddles on President's Day weekend. On Sunday, we launched from MBK and paddled out to Point Pinos. The wind and seas until we made the point so we turned back. We saw a couple of otters near the aquarium and sea lions in the harbor. On the way back we did a lap around the harbor. Check out the photos and map.

Paddle: Pillar Point

Lee and I got a late start after meeting with Bill. We drove down to Pillar Point. There was a stiff wind blowing from the north. We stuck our noses out in the ocean but decided it was a better idea to stay in the harbor and get a work out. This sail boat was washed up during the recent storms. Check out the photos.

Cycling: WW LDTG Gadzich Ranch

Amy and I met up with a bunch of Western Wheeler cyclist at Seascape for the annual trek to Gadzich Ranch. The ranch is known for the best apple pies in Northern California. It was a beautiful sunny day with temps in the 60s and little wind. There was some surf action when we passed the Concrete Ship. Lunch consisted of a turkey sandwich and apple pie. Check out the photos and Route Map.
