Well it's Thursday and we are in Newport, We did the Memeorial Weekend cruise with the club then ran downriver to Longview Yacht Club Tues. Went down to Illwaco Wed and left at 5:30 AM this morning, had a good trip down the coast, following seas at 3' about 6 secounds, made good time pulled into Newport channel about 5:00 PM, thats where the swells out of the north and the wind out of the north at 18 to 20 kts played hell with us comming in the channel.
We were taking the wind and swells on our port beam all of the way in, scared the begeeses out of LaVon, rolled us pretty hard a couple of times, lost our little TV most of our dishes and some of our glasses, took about 2hrs. to clean up, looks like a trip to the thrift store in Newport.
Looks like Sun. will be the best day to move on to Coos Bay, We will let you know how that goes.
