Raft Cove

Back in May I headed up island with a couple of friends to camp out at Raft Cove at the Northern tip of the island. We hiked in the 2km trail carrying way too much gear, including a couple of surf boards. We spent a couple of nights alone on this beautiful beach, soaking up the sun, surfing and exploring. The entire time we were there, a fog bank loomed off shore, and on our last day it finally moved ashore, making it easier for us to leave.

First view

A dramatic sunset

That just keeps getting more dramatic


A day of surfing for Jordan




We found a very large whale vertebra in the woods



The Velella Velella have been washing ashore by the billions all along the west coast, an event that is thought to coincide with rising ocean temperatures


The beginnings of another dramatic sunset


Late spring nights around the campfire



Exploring the sea stacks at low tide

Looking back at our private paradise as we explore the shoreline

Hawley's turn in the surf
