[Milsurplus] NOAA Newport

[Hubert Miller]

I thought, the list mail is not exactly inundating us, why don't I forward this recent photo of NOAA ocean research ship heading out from
Newport Oregon harbor. South jetty behind ship; I was on north jetty. "Bar crossing" at end of channel is often restricted by ship length,
depending on how high the swells are there. Coast guard has bar crossing updates about every hour on channel 22 VHF. In February 2018
the crew of 3 of a fishing boat were lost there in a crossing attempt during a storm. I read this had occurred at least once else in modern
history, I think in mid 1960s.
Good place for walking. I think it lowers your BP about 15 points just to walk out here on a sunny day.
