Well, there’s not a whole lot to mention, I’ve just been cruising along and trying to enjoy as much of the ocean as I possibly can. I saw whales and Depoe Beach, tide pools all over in Yachats, harbor seals near Waldport (and then again all along the coast, they kept popping up!). It’s just been a wonderland of ocean adventures! The only bad part of this whole trip is when I have to road walk on the 101, so I’ve been taking a lot of buses to get around those road walking sections. So have I walked every inch of the OCT?
