Made it to Newport Or.

As most of you know by now I made it to Newport Or. I made a 32hr overnight run from Sausalito to Eureka, after I tied up some people we had met on the way down came over to say Hi. After letting them know I was hoping to get up to Cresent City and Coos Bay in the next 2 days Tracy ask how far could I get if I had help, we sat down and figured I could get to Newport so he offered to go as far as Coos Bay and his wife would drive up and pick him up, so at 7AM we took off on a 36hr run to Newport.
I pulled in to Coos Bay pulled up to the dock, Tracy jumped off and I headed back out, 45 min in and out and back on course for Newport. I arrived in Newport Sunday evening and collapsed, Monday was going to be the end of the good weather to get up to the Columbia River but I couldn't face a 15hr run after a 32 and a 36hr run back to back that I had just done so I called LaVon to come down and pick me up and I'm leaving the boat in Newport until there is another break in the weather. It doesn't look like I will get the boat back before Memorial Day weekend but oh well we will have lots of time this summer to go out on the river, I just want the boat back in Portland by the 4th of July for the Blues Festival.
See you all soon.
