Today we’ll talk about our local National Data Buoy Center buoy, 46029, which was returned to service in June, 20 miles off the mouth of the Columbia River in the Pacific.
This important data buoy had been out of service since last fall. Today we’ll talk with NDBC adminstrator Craig Kohler about the buoy’s journey back to being in working order, transmitting data to waiting satellites – all about sea state, weather and other info. Important info for mariners.

Today we’ll begin hearing excerpts from my interview with Craig Kohler, operations branch chief for the National Data Buoy Center. NDBC maintains a network of buoys in US coastal waters and in other places in the world, that transmit weather and climate data to satelites. We have NDBC buoys in our coastal waters including one right off the Columbia River Bar in the ocean called 46029.
This week we’ll talk about that buoy system and why it is so valuable to mariners and scientists.

Today we’ll take a look at ship traffic on the river, and at the predictions for our upcoming holiday weekend heat wave.
I’ll be taking the long holiday weekend to regroup a little from the exhausing but wonderful process of finally launching my boat (see yeastserday’s podcast.) So after today, I’ll see you all again Monday on the Ship Report.

Earlier this year, the USCGC Alert, a Coast Guard ship that had been in Astoria for decades, was reassigned and replaced by a brand new cutter, the USCGC David Duren, which is now in Astoria.
Today we take a look at where the Alert is now… she’s got a new home on the East Coast (a region she was first assigned to over 50 years ago as a new ship), working as an active duty cutter in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Today, a look back in the Ship Report archives at an interview about rogue waves with Capt. Deborah Dempsey and Terry Wilson – both dear friends of mine. This interview is especially poignant, since Terry is no longer with us. Today we’ll learn about rogue waves from two mariners who have each experienced them at sea.
