Theodosia Inlet

Bill and Mike were already out hiking at 7am, while I slept in until 8. Yeah, I’m not the morning person in the bunch! I got up, had breakfast, and pulled up my empty crab pot… eventually got my kayak set up to ride over and hike the trail that Mike and Bill hiked yesterday. The guys were just getting back and Mike wanted to hit that trail again, so he joined me. Fairly easy hike to Black Lake, less than a mile one way. The trail passed an old Caterpillar Dozer that was covered in moss and missing a lot of parts. Some of those parts were scattered about the area. Also along the way there was a small stream that somebody built and placed a tiny paddlewheel. Black lake offered a scenic view. On the way back I stopped at the campsites at the trail head. There were a couple of nice pads to set tents on. Bill was pulling out as I checked out the campsites, and Mike went back to his boat to work on setting up an antenna for his AIS transceiver that I had given him some time ago. He pulled anchor shortly before I did. We only traveled 5 miles today, around the corner to Theodosia Inlet. We passed several fish farms, none that looked active. We are across the bay from a logging operation, but doesn’t look like anything is happening right now. No equipment, other than some surrounding log booms to hold in logs, the log slide from shore, and half a dozen private pickup trucks. I did see a work boat come in and dock, and Bill said he saw the driver get in one of the pickups and leave. We think there might be a forest road over to Lund, but not sure. Bill and Mike explored on their Kaboats and took a hike from the logging dock. I kayaked around the little hook cove we are in, and then around the point to the last home or fish camp we passed.Read more
