Report Details
Entered area 3:30pm as volunteer to look for the human and/or boat remains generated by the death of the NETWORK, a crabber that broke up out in Tillamook Bay. Very little trash washed in since my last trip. Took photos of debris found, but it did not appear to be from NETWORK, and Coast Guard confirmed this later. Low tide was 4:47, and I got up my rope and out of the area at dark and had to hike to my car without light. No fun.Rain, wind, cold. Would not have made the trip, except it was good to have someone eyeball all of the little coves, caves, and caverns, in case the area did have wreckage or human remains to bring to the attention of the Coast Guard.

In 50 plus years of visiting this small cove, this is the only time I've ever seen it this calm.
