Found a nice cozy harbour to camp at last night - Pillar Point, just outside Half Moon Bay, California. N37 30.254 W122 28.798 Lots of boats coming back after dark; some sport fishers and some commercial boats. Also saw a seal or sea lion in the harbour.




Had a pretty lazy day, drinking coffee and enjoying the sights, sounds and smells. Don't know if they have eucalyptus trees here or not, but it reminds me of Australia, where the bush smells so good.









Passed by the $6/day parking spots on the coast and found my own lookout 2-300' above the beach where I spent quite a few hours watching the soaring birds, the boats, the surfers, but did not see any whales. Very nice, sunny, warm and calm day, and the road was full of motorbikes, cyclists and top-down convertibles.
Found a new-to-me county park right on the water (free), so I decided to stop rather than continue on to one of my previous roadside locations. Got set up with the dish just in time to catch the start or the Leafs game.






Also fired up the generator for the first time of the trip so I could watch TV as long as I liked and also to charge up all batteries. Had to run outside during the first intermission to take some photos of the sunset.



Oh, yes, there also just happens to be a very scenic lighthouse just down the coast. And I guess they have wireless internet :-),




Nice sunset pics, eh?
