below channel debate deep farther feet further gone might rock safe safer water whether
There was a lot of debate whether these jetties should have been built. It might have been better if they'd gone further north. There's a rock reef here about 12 feet below the surface, so there's no way to ever get a real deep channel here. When you have swells of 6 or 8 feet, you don't have enough water for safe passage. A little farther north, there are no rock reefs and they'd probably have had a safer channel.

clothing coast dressed fall flock gets looking word
Sometimes in the fall we'll see 20 or 30 of these birders, dressed out in Abercrombie & Fitch clothing with their spotting scopes, looking at some little dickey bird. The word gets out that there's some shorebird that's rare, and they all flock to the coast to look at it.
light
We have a solar-powered light in there so that at night, in Bandon, you can see it blinking. But it's just for aesthetics.
