Oregon Coots’ Toledo Spring Messabout

The Coots will be getting together for our first visit of the year to Toledo, Oregon. Anyone who thinks they may be a Coot, or is just curiuous about us, is welcome. There will be much boat BSing and even some boating, in Depot Slough and the Yaquina River. Dry camping Thursday to Monday is free in the field near the docks. Moorage in the transient slips near the sewage pumpout station costs a “suggested donation” to the Toledo Community Boathouse programs.

The centerpiece of this year’s messabout will be a Saturday “seminar” Saturday on electronic navigation in small boats, with presentations on using cheap and free nav programs on tablets and smart phones.

On Sunday we’ll do a group boat trip up or down the Yaquina River. The tides will be favorable for a run up to Elk City for lunch.
