Prisoners' and Pelican Harbors at Santa Cruz Harbor

 

"I'm thinking we will see Whales today" Erin

 

 

 

 

The Pier at Prisoner's Harbor, once a busy place loading cattle from the Ranch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lookout hut above the Pier. Sure would be nice as a little weekend getaway!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are so many interesting formations carved by the wind and the Sea

 

 

 

 

 

                                          

"Thar She blows!!"

 

A majestic Alaskan Gray surfaces and spouts not far from us

 

After lingering on the surface for a short time the Whale returns to feed on the bottom

Seeing these creatures in person and up close is breathtaking

 

 

 

The old landing at Pelican Harbor, such a lovely place

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The entrance to Pelican Harbor. This place is pretty well protected, and very interesting to explore.  Used to be a Hotel/Speakeasy here in the 20's

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kit checks out the century plants out on the Point that form the West side of the Harbor

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too soon, S. Avanti leaves the Island and glides back to our Harbor across the Channel  

(approx. 25 miles away, or one hour)
