Neah Bay to La Push Washington August 31, 2008

We left Neah Bay early, at first light to take advantage of the ebb tide and current. But because we were leaving on the ebb, going out around Cape Flattery was a little rougher than when we came into the Straight of Juan De Fuca in June. However, a few hours later, we arrived in La Push which had an easy entrance across their ocean bar. La Push is a much better location to stop when traveling north and timing your entrance to the straight. When traveling South it makes for a shorter day than going all the way to Grays harbor. La Push is also a Tribal Reservation, however, it is a much improved over Neah Bay and has a positive and busy feel as compared to Neah Bay which feels somewhat depressing. They have a few more services, a grocery store, a restaurant and odds and end shops. The marina is in better shape than that at Neah Bay and the tribe continues to develop the area. There is a new RV park going in that will be very nice when it is completed.
