We took a somewhat difficult route to the Pinkertons today,
through much shallow water. I think we surprised a couple of kayakers at one
point. They probably couldn’t figure out what a “big boat” was doing in
2.5-feet of rock-studded water!
Exploring the shallow areas is pretty cool. Lots of sea life
is visible in the clear water, and there aren’t any other boats.

When we arrived in the Pinkertons, we were the only boat.
Nice!
More relaxing aboard. I napped. Perfect afternoon.
Before dinner we took the kayaks on a lengthy paddle through
the Pinkertons. Not much wildlife, but beautiful scenery. Somehow I manage to
inadvertently hit rocks regularly in the kayak. Thankfully I haven’t yet had
that propensity when driving Retriever.

Three other boats filtered into the anchorage during the
evening. One anchored really close, just 170-feet away (I turned on the radar).
It was a charter sailboat out on a training trip. A licensed captain runs the
boat while paying guests learn how to operate a sailboat. Evidently the captain
realized they were too close, and moved farther away soon after anchoring. I’m
glad he didn’t train everyone to anchor so close!
