My Brother and I at Woodley Island Marina in front of The Maritime Memorial for Sailors Lost at Sea.

The Madaket was a ferry boat that retired when they built the bridge to Samoa... Now it has narrated cruises exploring Humboldt Bay... The captain tells us the history of what we see.


Other places to visit:
The North Jetty. Breakwaters that Protect the Channel into Humboldt Bay From the Pacific Ocean. Bring sensible shoes so we can walk to the end where the dolos are... be aware that sometimes the waves are so large that it would be dangerous to walk on the jetty... but you can watch from the top of the sand dunes.


Mount Saint Mercy Retreat
Located Way Out In the Woods on
Highway 211 Between the Avenue of the Giants and Historic Ferndale.
