Hard to leave

Day 15 - Newport, Oregon, USA

The weather here in Newport has been good.  A little cool at night but just lovely during the day.  Makes it very hard to leave for unknown ports further south.  Looking at the weather reports we have decided that tomorrow, Wednesday, would be our last chance before the winds start shifting to come from the south again.

We made the trip into town to the marine chandler today to pick up some more fuel filters.  We now have new filters in both of the Racor units, and 9 spares.  That better be enough.

One of the things we have noticed here at the marina is that, since we arrived, no other transient boats have arrived or left.  This probably means we are on the tail end of the season for boats going down this coast, or maybe no-one ever bothers to stop here in Newport.  Regardless, it appears that out of the 4 boats at the transient dock, we are most likely going to the be the first to leave if we go tomorrow.  Not sure what that means.

Hopefully the next post will be from Coos Bay.
