Crescent City

There have been some pretty fun times here at Crescent city and I’d like to share it with you…

 

There is an Ocean World here; it was pretty cool I learned about sharks, sea lions, fish, rays and mantas. Did you know that a single manta can grow up to 40ft from wingtip to wingtip! That’s almost the length of our boat! I also got to pet a Shark and a Sea lion! It was sweet!

 

There is a cool redwood forest thing called The Trees of Mystery, it’s about the weirdest trees in the world…and it’s all natural. There is the lightning tree that is shaped like a lightning bolt! It actually grows up and left then up, (about three times) it’s pretty cool. There was a gondola that took us to the lookout platform! There also was a tree called the Brotherhood Tree and it was 19ft in diameter, that’s huge, it was also very tall. There was the Family tree that had at least 10 other trees growing out of it!

 

Austen and I went skim boarding twice and Austen went (or tried to) Kite board. It was really fun. Although the water was cold, you kind of got used to it after a while. Austen did get up on the skim board once but only for a split second but overall we had lots of fun!

 

Austen and I went to the local movie theater and saw The Bee movie. It was pretty funny, it started out dorky and then it got more interesting...The bee named Barry starts to talk to the…O.K I won’t tell the story but it was good and I would recommend it to those who are interested in a family movie.

 

There are these wave breakers called Tetrapods and they’re pretty cool. They are like 25-ton Jacks and, like I said before, they break the waves…well they actually dissipate the strength of the wave or currents by like 80%! I thought that was pretty cool.

 

So we tried to sail down to Eureka on Tuesday November 11 but were hit by a storm  and had to turn around and come all the way back to Crescent City…that sort of bugged the heck out of me, We were 2/3 of the way there! but the good part is that I got a cool lord of the rings game that looks very fun and I can’t wait to try it out!    TTFN (Ta Ta For Now) Chris Y.
