Tonight's anchorage wins the award for spectacular scenery. Mountains, forest and sea; it's got it all. We found a trail and enjoyed a little romping.
We came upon a huge sign beside the trail: Absolutely no trespassing! That couldn't mean us, could it? We should at least give them the chance to be friendly. They might let us use their toilet.
We eventually walked from the forest into a clearing with an orchard and a large house. And a dog. He was not happy to see us. We beat feet, retracing our steps with the dog in hot pursuit. Or so it sounded. I was sure it was still following, if it ever was, half a mile down the trail. So... not so friendly.
On the other end of the mile long trail was an empty campsite set up for kayakers. Tent platforms, bear proof boxes for food, and: pit toilets!
All the commotion and exploration left us with good appetites, so back on the boat we ate walnut chicken on rice for dinner. Jeff doesn't eat meat, but did the cooking for some reason. He says he enjoys cooking. No complaints. Jeff is the kind of guy who enjoys everything.
Quijote Walnut Chicken:
Sauté 1 lb chicken with 4 chopped scallions, 2 chopped green peppers in 2T cooking oil.
Combine 3T soy sauce, 2 tsp cornstarch, 2T dry sherry, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp sugar, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 C walnuts.
Combined sauce with walnuts and cooked chicken on low heat until thick. Serve over rice.
Very cute photo of Tina. Jeff sounds amazing. Wow. Enjoys everything is something I need to learn. Does Jeff do consulting?
