Jason organized our trip to Right Beach and took us back to this place he visited many years ago. It was different, of course, this summer in the midst of a pandemic. A trip like this is different in that the air is fresher, the colors more vibrant, the fire less smoky, the bugs less buzzing, the time with friends more precious in the shadow of this serious year.
The trip was fast. A few kayak paddles (We poked around an empty Halibut Cove), a hike or two, a couple sits around a fire, and then - as they all do - the trip ended with us facing the sea waiting for the water taxi. It was enough, though, to cleanse my heavy mood, and hush the constant urge to check my phone, and strengthen our friendships. Jason's and Bekah's little girl, Elena was a champ. She is the most easy going two year old I've ever hung out with. It was so fun to watch Jason watch our trip through his little girl's eyes. | |
| Laura and Shane visited from Seattle and convinced me to not miss out. We missed Bekah so much since she had to back out at the last minute, but I am so glad I joined this little adventure. Henry, at just 3 months old, got his first taste of well, every texture that Right beach has to offer. He took his doggy dog wanderings, ate starfish skeletons and kelp and sand, and he snuggled against my sleeping bag after being so spent from having dug deep holes in the Kachemak Bay sand. |
This trip is something that went perfectly right this year. Thank you to Jason, Elena, Laura, and Shane for a great memory. Cheers to the next adventure!
