Cruising the West Coast
05 September 2014 | Newport, OR
We landed in Newport, Oregon on August 28 following two days of light winds, lumpy seas and fog patches primarily to visit with some of Kirk's family in nearby Yachats. We lingered longer than expected due to big seas and high winds predicted for northern California for most of this week, but the extra layover made for a very special visit with family.
We now intend to leave tomorrow morning (Saturday 9/6/14) and head south possibly to Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara then San Diego before heading into Mexico near the end of October or early November. Fortunately, we're having an extended summer as the weather has been sunny and warm while in Oregon...a nice change from the many cool and wet months traveling the coast of BC and southeast Alaska.
