Note: I’m taking a break from the Ship Report for some vacation time. I’ll be back on the air and on Facebook, with updated ship schedules and marine weather reports on Monday, July 29. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this interview series about a tragic real life incident that happened here in our maritime neighborhood.
We’re into Day 3 of my interview with John Kopp, about his book CG41332m, about a tragedy on the Columbia River Bar during Coast Guard training in which three students lost their lives.
Today Kopp reads from his book, a passage about the moment just before the boat flipped in the breakers near Clatsop Spit.
