Such a beautiful day for a hike. I hiked through the woods to the pond, turned left and followed the trail to the coast, hiked the coastal trail, then dropped down to Big Buoy Beach and over to T Point. Some icy patches on trail which lessened as I got closer to the ocean - no need for cleats.
Cooked in sun out of wind, drank a beer with lunch, then walked back along the coast. A Grand Day Out.
As the trail is on Lesnoi land, a permit is required - I went rogue. I spoke with Julie Bishop today and she has suggested to Lesnoi that they make permits available for purchase online. They may also sell them at the kiosk on the spit. Currently, you have to contact Frank Bishop to purchase a permit. Although there is no enforcement at this time, Lesnoi is in the process of hiring enforcement officers. I am not opposed to the permit and plan to purchase one when it becomes less cumbersome to do so. The plus of permit purchase is that if a large number of hikers purchase them, it is concrete proof of the importance of T Point to local hikers.
