I need to take the next few days off, and so we’ll hear a few shows from the Ship Report archives.
The two part show that you’ll hear today and tomorrow is a listener favorite: the true story of the sinking of the commercial fishing boat Meteor on the Columbia River Bar, told as no one else can by Michael McCusker.
You can hear Michael Thursdays on KMUN radio in Astoria, with his insightful show, “A Story Told.” Among the many hats Michael has worn in his life is being a commercial fisherman. Here’s his story of how he was the last man standing as the boat he was working on, the Meteor, sank on the bar.
We’ll hear the finale tomorrow

Today we have a ship arriving from France, which means she likely traveled through the Panama Canal. We’ll talk about that historic waterway, it’s problems with drought in recent years and how a coming La Nina climate trend might help alleviate that.

Today I thought we’d talk about some of the most ever-present and often ignored (by people on land) things in our river neighborhood – and that’s navigational buoys. Vital for mariners, they sit in the water day and night doing their work, making the watery highway safe for travel.
Each buoy is unique, by color, numbers and sound, and they have lights so they can be seen at night. Mariners would have trouble getting along without them.
