From Creyke Point (48°19'31.29"N, 123°37'49.56"W), East Sooke Regional park we could see Wolfe Island (48°19'27.79"N, 123°38'5.69"W) in Campbell Bay. Beyond the Juan de Fuca Strait the Olympic Mountain Range was barely visible through the clouds. It took about an hour to reach the Alldridge petroglyphs (48°19'4.01"N, 23°38'20.02"W) because we stopped to take photos and videos of a large arbutus, a life-rich tidal pool (where Dave, Jim and Diego found sea anemones and sea stars): wildflowers like Blue-eyed Grass, Castilleja coccinea, Fool's Onion and stone crop, pine trees clinging to the rocks dwarfed by the strong ocean winds, waves crashing along the coastal trail. We watched two sea lions emerge near us just off shore when we stopped for lunch on a rocky outcrop. We didn't go the extra ten kilometers to see the Beechey Head landmark (48°18'52.34"N, 123°39'15.67"W) as we had a few months ago. The Alldridge petroglyphs (48°19'4.01"N, 123°38'20.02"W) had been defaced with graffiti since our last visit. At Alldridge Point we chose to return along the coastal trail rather than take the wooded trail back to Aylard Farm. On the way back we saw a sea otter enjoying the fish he had just caught. An eagle landed and surveyed the surroundings as we sipped coffee and tea on the patio of the Smoking Tuna. Young Diego explored the docks, launched his toy sailboat and admired the harbour seals.
