Motored northwest all night and morning. Arrived at Shelter Cove around one p.m. Lovely spot! High cliffs topped with trees and bushes. Gentle surf rolling onto the curving beach. This is part of "California's Lost Coast," but a lot of people have found it. The place is jumping with campers and boaters.
Paddled ashore and walked around. There's even an airstrip here! Ate some ice cream bars, bought fish and milk, and returned to the Royaks.
We set my Royak down too close to the water. While Roy was walking over to his Royak, a big, fast swell rolled in and started to carry my Royak out with it. Fortunately, I had seen the swell coming, so I was able to run over and grab the tail of my Royak while it was still in shallow water. Of course, my shoes and socks got wet, but no big deal; they've been wet before. If I hadn't been able to grab the tail, Roy would have had to paddle after it and tow it back to the beach. Then I'd have felt like a dork.
After supper, we weighed anchor and headed north.
