Bob's coastal adventure was a thrill. The Dory boats were queued up, poised for departure at dawn. His reservation was with Eagle Charters in Pacific City. Initially, the waters were serene, yet this tranquility was fleeting. After hauling in a bountiful catch and emptying the crab pots, the sea grew rough, or in his words, it "got nautical."

He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and is eager to set sail again before our departure to head south. If that's not possible, next summer awaits. Meanwhile, I savored the rewards of his expedition.
