New Port, OR to Charleston,OR

We finally left Newport, OR on monday. It was a nice place and the marina was clean and inexpensive. Eighteen dollars a day for all the ammenities. After a 12 hour day of following seas 10 to 12 feet in height, being tossed around like rag dolls and a touch of motion sickness we finally made it 95 miles to Charleston,OR. Another eighteen dollar a day marina, but not quite so nice. It is primarily a marina for fishing boats. Had a great breakfast this morning at the marina cafe. We are watching for a clear weather window to head for Cresent City, CA, then around Cape Mendecino. Worst of trip is then supposed to be behaind us. I sure hope so. I am keeping a log and will try to keep up to date entries on our blog also.
