Moss Landing Kayaking



Greg and I went to Moss Landing, one hour south of San Jose, last weekend to sea kayak with a group of about 20 and a couple guides alongside sea otters, sea lions and seals - oh my! It was such great fun, and I think kayaking is the best way to enjoy oceanic nature without disturbing it too much. Paddle paddle through the blue waters with the breeze in my hair and the clean air filling my lungs -- I hadn't felt such pure joy in awhile when my smile literally reached from ear to ear. I forgot about everything.

The best part of the trip was watching sea otters joyfully grooming themselves to keep their waterproof coat in tact and cracking clams on their chests looking as if they were smiling and taking in the sun and lovely weather. I smile to myself when I think of their adorable little faces.

Now I have been sea kayaking in San Diego, Honolulu, Alaska, Costa Rica and Moss Landing, CA. :) Where to next?
