Pictures from the August 2000 expedition down the Humboldt County Coastline

Wind and rough seas prevented taking many good pictures.
Until I landed below the point for the evening.
And set up my campsite.
On a walk around the point I see Seamboat rock, California sea lions and the light from below.
Sugarloaf Island viewed from shore by evening light.
The view from the lighthouse the next morning, the brown line along shore is 1000's of seals!
I climbed to see the lighthouse, but only find the old foundation. What happened to it?
A new rotating flasher replaced the old lighthouse.
A view of the angry sea ahead to Punta Gorda. I spent a day here waiting for the wind to stop. It never did.
Sunset next to Sugarloaf Island.
Passing Steamboat Rock the next morning.

The August 2000 expedition pictures continue here.
