 |
| A crow waiting for something to eat |
 |
| I've been in and out this narrow harbor entrance many times. Depoe Bay was on the the 6 Stations on the Oregon Coast where I was responsible for the maintenance and repair of the boats. |
 |
| Waves are small today |
 |
| A natural terrarium |

 |
| Tyler, Jon, Angie, Karen, Pat, and Preston |
 |
| Karen had to take this shot :-) |
 |
| Since I used the phone and camera to take pictures today, these are out of order. We're back here to the entrance to Depoe Bay |
 |
| 47' Self-Righting Motor Life Boat there in the boathouse. |
 |
| I was on a panel that helped in the development of these small boats. Prior to te 47' Boats, the standard was the 44 footers. And before that the old 36 foot motor life boats. |
 |
| This little dredge keeps busy clearing out silt from the channel |
 |

 |
| Jon's long board on Angie's car |
 |
| There was a Whale spouting right in front of the boat out there. Thought I had a picture of the spout, but missed it. |
 |
| Jon is under there somewhere :-) |
 |
| Most of the surfers use the more modern short boards. Jon uses a classic long board |
 |
| We're pretty proud of this boy. At 13, he is becoming well known on the West Coast. |
