RESCUE 'COPTER IN THE HARBOR - POST # 79
Winchester Bay Salmon Harbor Reedsport are joined together on the Umpqua river, and have around 1,000 boat slips. The harbor entrance is a violent task, we hear the loud surf roar from wave action here (about a mile away), and the Coast Guard station is in eyesight 1,000 feet from us.
Mid day we heard the helo hovering fo 1/2 hour before we went looking, up on our bridge we could see it 30 feet above the water, and watched a rescue diver jump in, they were on site over an hour, and sped off with someone, nothing on the news.
