Hi All, Hope all is well with everyone. We are still having a wonderful time here along the Oregon Coast!! The coast is so beautiful weather the sun is shining bright or the coast is shrouded in fog.

Yesterday we drove up to the city of Lincoln to go to the outlet mall there for a little shopping. That was fun!!

On the way back home we stopped in the small town of Depoe. It is right on the ocean and is known for whale watching and the world's smallest harbour. We did spot two whales not too far off the shore line. I understand that there is a pod of whales that live there most of the year. We also saw several sea lions and of course many birds.

The world's smallest harbour is exactly that... a very small harbour. You come in straight off the ocean and the opening is very narrow, you do not back off the power until you are past the entrance, where you have to make a tight left turn under the bridge and then into the small harbour.
We watched several boats going in and out and were glad that it was not us on the boats!!!

On the way back to Newport Bay the fog was rolling in off shore. You can see the light house in the distance in the last picture. I tried to catch the light in my picture, but it was not to be... oh well.

When we got back to Newport Bay, the sun was shining but the fog bank was still sitting off shore. We went to dinner at the Rogue Brew House with our friends, Chris and Jan Hanks. A good time was had by all!!!!


Hope all is well with everyone. We love and miss you all. Keep in touch, we love to her from you. Candy and Johnny
