Another glorious day! 80 degrees, delightful breeze, blue sky, green forests in the background. Man, this is the life!
Wrote a bunch of postcards in the morning. After lunch, walked over the bridge to Brookings. Bought stamps at the post office and mailed the postcards. Got some money from an ATM. Treated ourselves to delicious ice cream. Roy bought a new pair of shoes on sale for half price. On the way back, we picked a bagful of luscious blackberries.
When we got back to the boat, we put on our bathing suits and went Royaking around the two marinas. Tomorrow, we're going to paddle up the Chetco River.
Speaking of Royaks, this morning Roy noticed another Royak tied to a boat in the marina. We walked over there and talked to the owner, Keith Smith. He had bought the Royak at a dive shop in Campbell in 1976 and has been using it avidly ever since. He's not a diver, but he uses it to fish and paddle around. Boy, was he enthusiastic! He raved on and on about how much he likes the Royak. His seven-year-old son, Jonathan, likes to paddle it, too. They were both thrilled to meet the guy who invented it.
