Today the plan was to drive the two hours straight from
Myers Flat to Trinidad, put Scoop in his resting spot and take the kayaks out
for their maiden voyage and afterward head back to Arcata for dinner. The plan worked
for the most part. Our RV spot in the Emerald Forest Campground
was a tight
fit, but the redwoods towered around us. We even had our own stinky slinky
hole: all fluids flowed freely.
After lunch we headed to Big Lagoon to enjoy a magnificently
sunny day in our new kayaks. Laine and Angel are pros at kayaking from their
days in Juneau and were helpful in giving us tips for unloading, loading,
boarding and disembarking from the kayaks. In fact, they were both telling me
how to get in the kayak at the same time. My right leg listened to Laine and
went one way and my left leg listened to Angel and went the other. Result was
my knees in the water, no part of me in the boat. Now that I don’t listen to
anyone, I always end up in the boat.
It was just too darn beautiful on the water and in Trinidad,
we never made it to Arcata, we enjoyed a fish BBQ in our campsite in our Emerald
forest.
