Luhr Beach around Nisqually Reach

July 9

80 degrees, no wind.  Looks like a formula for playing hooky.  Went exploring Nisqually Reach with a fellow kayaker.  Launched out of Luhr Beach at low tide.  Flat water, a bit hazy but warm and beautiful.  It was a very nice place to paddle, interesting coastline, saw eagles, seals, herons, enormous starfish and anemones.  Didn't time it right and got caught at low tide, had to paddle clear out to Anderson Island in order to find enough water to lead us back to the launch site.  Note to self:  There's a reason for tide charts.

 Just a lovely day
