w/4, 8 1989 56 Journal Santa Cruz Island 25mi W of Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Co., California. 21 Mar Of salami sandwich, carrots, fry bars and leaf tea we head W to Cochon Prieto. It was a 2 1/2 hour hike up over the crest of the island to a beautiful blue bay immediately W of the station.

Once we reached Cochon Bay we walked W along the shore ~500yds ad did some tide
