Today is the opening day of the Buoy 10 salmon fishery on the lower Columbia River near Astoria, Warrenton and Hammond. You’ll see lots of people in small boats fishing enthusiastically during this famous fishery period that happens every summer around this time.
The weather will be splendid and the fishing good. It’s important to remember that it’s the same old powerful and dangerous river out there, and we need to be prepared and knowledgeable in order to stay safe.

We’ve had some foggy conditions on the lower river this week, and so this is a good time to review ship fog horn protocols.
Those wonderful, sonorous ship horn sounds you hear in the fog are a lovely feature of coastal life. They’re also required by law and very important: they help ships communicate their locations when visibility is poor.

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.
In this final segment of my lengthy interview with author John Kopp about his book, CG41332, we talk more about USCG training. The book, published in 2023, tells the story of a Coast Guard training tragedy that happened on the Columbia River Bar in 1977, and the changes that happened in the agency as result of the accident, which claimed three lives.
