Free day for Bob. He stays "home" and cleans house, builds a fire, eats leftover pizza, drinks wine and listens to zydeco music on our CD player.
Corinne shows her art work and hats to guest Carol and manager Karen at Chinook Bend Campground. Carol wants a hat called "Pinky" for her granddaughter's birthday.
Corinne goes to Yaquina Head but the tide is too high to see anything in the tidepools. Instead I go around to a different road and find Quarry Cove, which we had not seen the first time we were there together. There are harbor seals on the rocks only 30 feet from the viewing station.
For the first time on the West Coast, I see surfers in their wetsuits taking lessons in the Cove.
As I drive back "home" to the campground, I stop at Depoe Bay to join a large crowd watching whales in the distance. They are definitely visible, but very hard to photograph. By the time you see one and get it in the viewfinder, they're back underwater.
At Boiler Bay, the waters are roiling among the rocks sticking out of the ocean. One can see how undertows are created.
Our suntans are starting to fade from wearing long pants and longsleeved shirts. The weather has been in the upper 60's for our time on the coast.
