Weather: Sunny and warm! Winds: Nil. Seas: Flat.
The Cutts Island Marine State Park is a great place! Water temp was 68F, warm enough to swim in. Cutts Island is a no camping/day use only island with a few trails accessible up the steep cliffs from the beach to the trees. Allegedly, it was a former indian burial ground and is locally called Dead Man's Island. Dog walking was pretty easy, with a nice dinghy row to a sandy beach on the north end of the island. The cliff on the south end is collapsing.
Of interest to me is a sand bar stretching from Raft Island to Cutts Island, more and more exposed as the tide ebbed. Early on Thursday, took a chance as Kelly walked the dogs and was rewarded with clams! Turned them into spaghetti al vongole for dinner! First time Kelly had non-deep fried clams and she was impressed!
While busy in the afternoon with powerboats and skiers, they all departed around dinner time leaving us alone in the anchorage. Kid in a canoe came by asking about Strider, never having seen a trimaran.
Quiet, warm evening and we launched a couple Chinese Sky Lanterns!
