Event: DVOA White Clay Creek
11 AM
Orienteering 1:05:47 *** 3.8 km (17:19 / km) +102m 15:16 / km
ahr:121 max:158 spiked:8/9c slept:7.0 shoes: 2022 VJ Falcon 6.5. GA
DVOA Brown course at White Clay Creek-Carpenter, 3.1 km, 115m climb, 1:10000 map. Received an 11x17" map and case and used about 1/6th of it.
;-)
Temp was about 36 and it was quite breezy on the hilltop where we parked/started, but not too bad in the woods.
Forgot to start my watch at the start, which I've done several times now using SIAC Air+ (so I adjusted my total time to match my splits printout). No issues with any of the controls, though I checked out an adjacent reentrant going to #6. This was a course of surviving the prickers and greenbriar without losing too much blood, and I succeeded.
I likely did not take the best route to #3 (trails and woods vs going out to the road and attacking from there), so probably lost a few minutes on that leg.
3rd on the course when we left, behind two young people.

(rest day)
Rest/recovery/keep warm day. I did restock the kitchen and got a few steps that way, but I'm not liking *this* November weather compared to the first week or so. But I can't complain...it's not below freezing at the moment. ;-)

We stretched out our trip to CA by tacking on a few extra days. Today's adventure was to Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands NP. While cool this morning, by the time we boarded the boat at 9am it was warming up nicely, and was in the upper 50s to low 60s on Santa Cruz.
We boarded an Island Packers boat in Ventura for the trip across the channel to Santa Cruz Is. We sat inside except for dolohin sightings, and I was okay to start but as we were going into the wind I started getting queasy when we hit the midway point. The rest was a mind game.
Finally we arrived at Scorpion Harbor anchorage. I asked a naturalist if there were good places to see the endemic scrub jays; he told us to head up the Scorpion canyon.
We saw (and I photographed) some birds near the settlement area, then continued on, and were hardly past civilization when I heard a "jay" call, and sure enough a scrub jay posed for us. :-) So instead of going further up the canyon, we could continue with our plan to head 2 mi on the trails to Potato Harbor overlook. As we made a turn onto a trail that climbed to the North Bluff trail we saw an endemic islandred fox (near the last pit toilets we'd see for awhile). Wow! Multiple wildlife sightings in the first 10 minutes!
Made it out the 2 miles to the Potato Harbor vista where ate the sandwiches we'd made and brought (along with all the water we might need plus snacks), entertained by a pair of ravens nearby. Then we headed back towards the Cavern Point loop. Along the way Glen noted a raptor (possibly peregrine falcon) in pursuit of two larger black birds...which turned out to be bald eagles. :-O
Climbed to Cavern Point then headed down to the settlement near Scorpion Harbor where we'd board the boat returning to Ventura. That's all we time (and energy) for today.
Back near the settlement and harbor we saw at least two more island foxes which were smaller and had a bit more gray fur than the first one we saw. Fun to watch them while waiting for the boat. (Added...the island foxes are descended from the gray fox, not red as I had posted originally.)
On the passage back to Ventura I dropped my pack inside with Glen, then headed out to the bow area so I'd have a clear view to the horizon (though it was colder out there). It did the trick to keep me from feeling queasy, and I saw pods of dolphins and tons of pelicans; and the boat captain circled around when someone saw a whale exhalation... we spent some time watching the whale(s?) before continuing on our way. All in all we highly recommend a visit this island (or others in the Channel Islands NP system) sometime in your life.
Barrelhouse 101 in Ventura had a fine selection of brews (we had Thai food last night) and decent food.
