Used 2 cameras, so some duplicates, but couldn't decide which to include, so posting most of them.

Very narrow, this boat is using no power.  The towing boat is getting them in without assistance.

Almost in

A few more yards and they will both be clear.  As seen though the black berry bushes

They're in!

Depot Bay, 47' Life boats practicing a tow.  Slowing down to shorten the line.

Behind that concrete break water, is the entry to the Worlds smallest harbor that's open to the Ocean

The lines are almost short enough now to enter the harbor

A tight place to maneuver

This can be dangerous when heavy seas are running

In the harbor, reeling in the sea anchor

Time to get moored and go have breakfast

Inside the Drift in.  Yachats, OR. (Ya-Hots) We had a very good breakfast in here.

Underside of an umbrella. They have them for sale in the Drift Inn.

Outside dining

Touristy town

Chilly but nice morning

Our parking place for breakfast

Yachats

Approaching the North Bend Bridge

Crossing the mouth of the Coos River.  This is Coos Bay. A railroad bridge to the West

On the Bridge

Entering the town we lived in for over 30 years.

Log decks sure aren't a large as they used to be.

Many breakfasts here.

Used to be a large Mill, now a casino

The Tioga is the tallest building in Coos Bay.  Spent many hours in there.  Eating, and square dancing. Even waiting for Greyhound busses. :-)

Downtown Coos Bay

Karen's fresh cut flowers

Sweet peas

Grandson Jon, and the "birthday girl" Lilli.  14 today!

The Sea Hag was a hangout when I used to come up here once a month for work

Lots of eating places

Early enough to get a parking place. Later in the day, it's tough to find a place

Heceta Head Light House.  The most photographed light house on the West Coast (or so I've been told)

You can hear the Sea Lions from here.

Sum Beach in Oregon

Good motorcycle Road

Home Sweet Home!
