Report Details
The F/V Little Linda is stranded on Nye Beach in Newport, just north of the turnaround. According to conversations I overheard on location, the stranding was first reported around 6 am. I became aware of it around 10:30 when I went down to the beach at Yaquina Bay State Park (about 1 mile south of the turnaround) and noticed the Coast Guard helicopter circling the area. The boat appeared undamaged, and I saw no indication of a fuel spill or other contamination. The Coast Guard, State Parks beach ranger, and NWFF Environmental responded to the incident.
