After kayaking, lunch, napping, and lunch, we went for a hike. On our way back we realized our boat had already returned and was loading our kayaks for the return trip. At Anacapa they throw your kayak onto a boat-high dock. But at Santa Cruz an Island Packers crew member paddles a long chain of all the kayaks to the boat. About now we decided to start walking a little faster!
