We exited Newport at 6 am. The bar was docile and the seas are glassy with a 2 foot NW swell. Hazy morning skies with fog patches expected. Have re-provisioned with Weisers whiskey, 1792 bourbon and Hendricks gin with cucumber for tonight's Coos Bay guests. Should make the Bay by 4 pm.
The trawler named Daybreak was moored in Newport. It's a new Nordhavn 60 we've seen before while cruising in Northern BC and a nice looking Nordy.

11 am update: Comfortable glassy seas continue on our way to Coos Bay. Meeting a couple Cal Yacht Club boating friends this afternoon once we're moored: Commodore Tom O'Conor and Marylyn Honeymeyer. I see we're showing up on www.MarineTraffic.com today at times.
1 pm update: Same nice conditions. Lots of commercial and sportfishing trollers off the Umpqua River.

4 pm: No entrance "bar" to speak of here in Coos Bay, but we're having an open bar on the Wild Blue after a 9-hour run in calm seas. We're tied up at the transient dock. Charleston Marina is a busy place for commercial fisherman as it's the closest moorage to Coos Bay entrance. We'll be up early tomorrow for a 13-hour run down to Crescent City, California.
