This has been the most perfect day ever on the Oregon coast. Bit of fog and overcast in the morning, breaking to blue skies and puffy white clouds most of the day, breezy but not too breezy, warm, but not too warm, cool, but not too cool. A quick stop at the docks to check out the fishing boats (not many in -- most are out fishing for tuna), some errands, and then a salad at Georgie's overlooking the ocean and northward toward Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Beautiful.
Here you see the F/V Frances, from Eureka, California, with the bright red F/V Miss Berdie (a local boat) across the way. A crow sits in the rigging of the F/V Ms. Law, sort of a "cat's cradle" look. And then you see the F/V June II in the foreground with fishing boats from Fort Bragg and Eureka in the background. There are a lot of "foreign" boats at the docks right now, mostly from San Francisco, Morro Bay, Washington, and Alaska. Here's hoping that wherever you are, your day has been just as good.©Carol Leigh
