Intolerable Cruelty

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

at Dave's recently I expressed an opinion, based on the directors and a

critic, but not a first-hand experience, that " Intolerable Cruelty " is worth

going to. Well, I feel thus obliged to retract, should you be inclined to

waste your time or money because of my voice, that based on first-hand

experience, but not the directors or a critic, it's not.

On another topic, Lori Patotzka asked me about the Slough. There were

hundreds of yellow and white pelicans, and such big birds do not come in

such big herds. Never seen that many. Strangely, they were just sitting

around the islands when I was going in, and the same when I was coming out

of the slough. Not making a living. Next, harbor seals, there were normal

numbers, perhaps a hundred, but I've never been this close to them - I

bumped into one with my paddleboard. Finally, of the three signature

animals of the slough, sea otters - I saw very few this time, but at least

one was working - float on the back, position a shell on the belly and bang

with a stone. I've seen it many times, but it is always a spectacle.

Unfortunately, in the afternoon, the power was out in Capitola and so

Dharma's was essentially out of business.

 

Nobody else came this time, but that is fine with me, I wanted to see some

great wildlife and invite some other people only if they were interested. I

used the occasion of being there by myself for the first time, to paddle to

the end of the slough and back, and I am now nursing a sore shoulder.

 

If someone else should want to organise this again on a weekend day, I will

come, so that way, you are assured to have at least 2 people You can

rent kayaks at Kayak Connection in Watsonville off Hwy 1, and you want to

choose the day and time so that you can get started about 2 hours before the

high tide and at least 4 hours before they close.
