We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we decided to check on the cactus that grow on the seaside bluffs south of Mouat Point. We parked this time just past the Eagle Creek culvert and took the gravel side road that heads towards Mouat Point. At the third fork in the road we swung left and then used the first winding trail that heads out to the bluffs. It's always nice to sit on the rocks close to the water for our lunch break, but I was careful to not scare the twenty or so seals that I felt sure would be basking down close to the water. After a short time they decided the neighbourhood was getting a bit too crowded and swam away to find a quieter spot. After lunch we checked on the cactus clumps, but it turned out we were too early and none had any open flowers.

Harbour Seals basking at low tide on seaweed covered rocks south of Mouat point. The white one is a bit unusual.
