In the morning, I practiced loading the survival bags. Took me two whole minutes to load Bag #1 and another 1 1/3 minutes to load Bag #2. Didn't even try to pack Bag #3. Since a boat can sink in sixty seconds, I need a LOT more practice.
Roy replaced the broken straps on the mainsail batten holders. Then we took off on our bikes. There aren't many roads around here, so we went back up the road we took yesterday. Ate lunch at the same place. This time, in addition to the turkey sandwiches, we treated ourselves to dessert. Roy had a butterscotch shake, and I had a chocolate malt. Sure were delicious!
Rode along some bumpy dirt roads. With great difficulty, dragged our bikes around a barrier that consisted of a big pile of dirt and a deep ditch. The road only went 1/8 of a mile, so we had to drag our bikes back again.
On the way back to La Push, we stopped at the Third Beach trailhead and took turns walking the trail to the beach. Absolutely perfect trail! Tall, straight pine trees, bushy undergrowth. We really enjoyed it.
Got back to the boat at eight and stowed our bikes. Weather favorable for tomorrow.
