Seaside to Manzanita
coastal training paddle
22 miles



On the tip of Tillamook Head I run a bouncy slot to find wave protection within a field of sea stacks.






Me.






Beautiful and rugged shoreline.






Some exciting geology.






Pelicans



...and Cormorants



For once I don't have to crash through the surf to stretch my legs.  I found this quiet little stretch of sand hidden behind a labyrinth of spires.



The last line of rocks before a 10 mile crossing to the next headland.



On the other side I try to slip by unnoticed, but this large male (as big as a cow!) sea lion sounds the alarm.  I know it's silly but I'm still scared of sea lions.
