Nearing the end: a tour in the rain and paddling back to Seymour Cabin.

September 7, 2020September 7, 2020 LizSmithCoach1 Comment

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here, part 5 here, part 6 here, part 7 here, and part 8 here]. It rained all night and continued throughout the final day. We decided to spend one more day in the area around camp, and then to spend the following [...]

Bears. Clamming, fishing, sleeping, playing, living.

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here, part 5 here, part 6 here, and part 7 here]. It was time to go watch some bears. While not as early as planned, we got an early start and set out shortly before low tide. Pack Creek is a [...]

Another day in lovely country.

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here, part 5 here, and part 6 here]. The next day we enjoyed a relaxing morning, discussed our daily plans (this became a theme of our trip - we often discussed plans without making concrete decisions about what we would [...]

Are your dreams more vivid?

September 4, 2020September 4, 2020 LizSmithCoachLeave a comment

[I haven't stopped with trip stories, but thought I would take a break for the day.] During Covid there have been reports of people having more vivid dreams. I figured it had something to do with the broad-scale stress people were experiencing. However, it may have more to do with our sleep patterns. Without time [...]

A relaxing day.

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, part 4 here, and part 5 here]. I slept reasonably well on our second night of the trip despite the odd angle and lumpy ground. While my friends were up hearing sounds in the night, I only heard them talking about [...]

Feeling the ocean’s power.

September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 LizSmithCoach6 Comments

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, and part 4 here]. It was about 2pm when we could set out on our journey for day 2, based on the tide cycle as discussed in yesterday's post. It was a bit of a slow and lazy start as [...]

A morning’s curfuffling.

September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 LizSmithCoach6 Comments

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, part 2 here, and part 3 here]. We awoke on day 2 of our trip to clearing skies. I used to live in Colorado, and before that, California - both locations where it was sunny pretty much all of the time. Now I live in [...]

Oliver’s Inlet to Seymour Canal : the portage.

August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 LizSmithCoach7 Comments

[If you want the beginning of the story, read part 1 here, and part 2 here]. There is about 1.5 miles of land between the water at Oliver's Inlet and Seymour Canal. A tram is provided to cover most of the distance - there are two carts that run on tracks similar to train tracks. [...]

From Douglas Harbor to Oliver’s Inlet: Kayak trip day 1.

August 30, 2020August 30, 2020 LizSmithCoach8 Comments

It was just 30 minutes after our last stop and my legs and butt were already numb. Except, of course, if they were numb I wouldn't feel the pain; so they must not actually be numb yet. This was the first of nine days in a kayak, but I was convinced that this discomfort was [...]

Vacation in a day.

August 29, 2020August 29, 2020 LizSmithCoach8 Comments

It was the first sunny day we had in awhile. Indeed, it would be one of our only warm, sunny days for the entire summer. I packed up a bag of gear and drove to the harbor to meet a friend and one of her friends. The person I didn't know had a spare kayak [...]
