Progress of the Ooligan.


Got a voice mail from Eli..... he made it to Florence. The highlight of the section was being hounded by a posse of hundreds of sealions off of the Caves area of that famed section of the coast. It was nerve wracking and compounded by a fog and a rising swell that left him completely disoriented as he was unable to see land.

He is leaving from Coos Bay to make a final run to Brookings that he figures should take him a week or so.
