A Boat Trip and Dinner*


Newport, Oregon is a fishing village.


Crab nets.


Bay front.


We took a boat trip.  Hoping to see whales.  We were told it was one of 10 perfect weather days on the Oregon Coast and it was!


We headed out to the ocean.


The crew was great with the children.  The young girl on the left is a cancer survivor and this trip was a Make a Wish trip for her.


This is an ocean view of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse.


It was a bit windy and rocky, but after all the rain, we were enjoying the sun.


The little girl, who was the cancer survivor, got to drive our boat.


During the trip, the crew had a drag net out and when they pulled it in, this is what they had.  Crab!


We headed back to our dock.


We headed to dinner at a place recommended by Clay, Local Ocean Seafoods.


tI was so crowded we sat at the counter, watching the cooks.  You all know I am not a chef, but it was sure fun to watch.  Our dinner was incredible.  Another great recommendation of Clay's.


Had to add a picture of my dinner. It was yummy!

* I am trying to catch up on entries from summer.  So this entry was done in late October 2011.
