Leaving Van Damme Cove, we find our first two caves filled with sea stars and vibrant algae. The paddling is smooth and easy, and the naturally formed channels keep us well out of the wind and surf. We round the corner and exchange looks with Harbor Seals, watching them in their pure, natural state. Heading north and hugging the sandstone cliffs, black oyster catchers screech and call to each other, announcing our arrival and their meal for the day. Narrow coves and passageways lead over the clear blue-green shallows as we make our way toward our last cave. Two dark chambers stretch eastward, letting us savor different views of the openings. Colorful invertebrates make their home here, and dripping fresh water offers a cooling rinse. One more cove and channel, and we turn around and paddle and float easily back with the current.
