Day 63-Friday, 8/21/09, SETTLED

At Simpson Reef we are treated to closeup views of sea lions, harbor seals, and walrus seals. The big guys are hauling out to molt on the rocks. They will be weakened by molting and just lay there for days.

Down on the beach, we explore rock caves at low tide. There are signs to "Beware of the Sneaker Waves". I see a little girl down at the bottom of the stairs without supervision. Sneaker waves can come up without warning and cause dangerous undertows. I'm about to go get the little girl when her mother and older sister show up and are totally unconcerned. Yikes!

We can see another lighthouse on a distant cliff.

Our GPS is funny. She says "double yoo Beaver Hill Rd." instead of West Beaver Hill.

I'm noticing that ponytails on men are very common out here. I like the look.

Unfortunately, there is a squished porcupine in the middle of the road as we are leaving.
