During our four days in Newport we met our fellow dock mates, and to help pass the time, rented a car and toured the surrounding area, including Depoe Bay,



We gave them a call and found that Douglas was coming into Newport to pick up some things from Ursa Major, as she is moored in Newport. We also learned they had just sold their business Fabtrol and Gerry was busy and somewhat numb from working through the sale of the business she and her husband Douglas built from scratch. We got to see Douglas and Ursa Major and were happy that we could at least speak with Gerry by phone and wished them both the best and much happiness as they start their new adventures. Douglas also mentioned they were written up in the local paper the Eugene Register. We found a copy of the paper and learned more about how they built their business. They are great people and I am sure our paths will cross again sometime. It sounds like Gerry may only be taking a sabbatical as she said she still has one more business in her!!! Tonight we are getting ready to head to Coos Bay. We will leave again at first light. Seas are expected to be4-5 feet at 7 seconds and winds will be 18-20 knots out of the NW. We want to be in Coos Bay before late afternoon as we know the winds will pick up again in the afternoon.
