Sunshine again! Today’s destination is Hisnit Inlet, not too
far away.
I left Bodega Cove mid-morning for a slow cruise to Hisnit
Inlet. The trip went smoothly, and I dropped the anchor in 60 feet of water at
the head of Hisnit Inlet; the anchor set brilliantly on 3:1 scope and held
perfectly through a windy afternoon.

After anchoring, I explored an estuary by kayak, then spent
the afternoon napping and reading on the boat. A fishing boat came in to pull
their crab pots. One of the guys aboard had owned a C-Dory recently, and he
stopped by to say chat.
A logging operation was underway high in the hills. I could
hear the diesel engines of the equipment, and somewhat enjoyed watching the
operation in my binoculars. Logging roads ashore provide many places to walk,
although the logging also meant that the forest ashore was a patchwork of
clearcuts.

Later in the evening I spotted a lone black bear foraging in
the grass. I paddled towards it and got some decent pictures. The bear was
right next to the logging road I’d walked on earlier…I’m glad I didn’t have to
test the bear spray.
