Jackie and I walked around the docks in Newport looking at the fishing boats. This is the 1st time I have really looked close at these type of boats. Not much creature comfort on them all business. Crab, tuna, salmon, shrimp and halibut are the main fish they go out after. There are charter boats that will take you fishing or whale watching. Newport was where the whale from the movie Free Willie kept before he was released. Little know fact Willie was harpooned shortly after his release by the Japanese. Nah, just made that up to scare the kids. We were going to stay in Newport but the rv parks were either full or they wanted $780 per month to park plus electricity. We found a place in Waldport on a bay (inlet) for $400 per month. It is 15 miles south of Newport. We are about 1 mile from the ocean. Waldport is a small town with 1 store and some shops. But it is quiet and now crowded. We were suprised in the last 2 rv parks our electricity has been cheap. In Arizona we were paying 18 cents per kilowatt but here it is 7-8 cent. So our electricity bill has gone from $70-80 per month to $30-35. As I said we will be here for a couple more week then we are working our way down the coast of Oregon to Eureka Ca. Going to stay near the coast until it cools off some.
