Today dawned too windy to leave Crescent City so we made the best of it. And it was good.
Exploring the coast, I realized that all the little granite mounds around here are like super clean little summits... great for scrambling.
I felt like I was in the Tetons as I explored neo-classic 5.4s like Sketchy Underpants Couloir.

That blob behind it is a lazy sea lion.
Here's some more sea lions.
I'd call them the most 'merican of all sea critters.
Then I had the best biscuits and gravy ever at the CHARTROOM.
The strange ambiance left nothing to be desired. The mirror door propped across from the table warns:
WATCH YOUR STEP

LIVE WELL * LAUGH OFTEN * LOVE MUCH
Being windy, naturally we went kiting and had a great high-wind, mellow-wave session on Crescent City South Beach. Highly recommended with NW wind and swell.
At 5am tomorrow we're setting sail for here:
TRINIDAD BAY
With luck we'll be there by noon or one, before it gets real windy.
Then we're hoping to hitch a ride N on 101 to Big Lagoon.
3.5 miles of waves and flatwater with a spit of sand between them. It's forecasted to blow side on, 22-24 with NW swell. The mountainous backdrop looks nice too.
Giddy up.
Thanks, Google Earth. Your omniscience is scary, but awesome.
