Too cold and stormy to camp, so we chickened out and grabbed a hotel. It’s a place that probably won’t be here in another 5-6 years as unrelenting high tide surfs have pounded away at the bottom of this cliff we’re atop of, eroding it severely. Note the remains of the orange caution flagging (torn apart in constant fierce winds) warning folks to stay away from the dangerous crumbling edge, just about 12’ off our room’s porch.

We had absolutely crazy frigid weather today. Snow flurries, hail, sleet, heavy driving soaking rain, violent strong winds and even some thunder and lightning!!!

About 2:30 in the pre dawn, we suddenly were woken up by the weirdest, lingering rolling, vibrating explosion of noise. Not knowing what it was (there'd been no thunder earlier), we thought perhaps it was a tsunami.

Geez...pitch black stormy darkness, at a remote location perched on an unstable point of land overlooking a shallow cove, with violent winds roaring and shaking the building and a frightening, unidentified super loud rumbling 😳. Not an enjoyable way to wake up!

The temperature today remained determinedly nasty… at noon it was only 44°, an intensely cold wind chill combining with sideways rain when we ventured out to an extremely blustery whale watching overlook point, on the north end of the bay.

We didn’t spot any of those giants tho. Supposedly we're a week too early for seeing any of the migratory leviathans that come in closer to the shore and can be viewed without the need for binoculars.
