King Tide On The Oregon Coast

It’s late in the afternoon for lunch.. sometime around two thirty, but Lauren and I have been driving all day and we’re hungry. Now perched on the tall bar stools of a pub overlooking Depoe Bay we’re catching up and sharing summer stories. The weather has been phenomenal for late November and today the afternoon sun cuts through thin coastal fog casting everything in a warm yellow glow. The pub deals in classic fare and waiters carry plates of fish and chips and chowder past our table.

Our waiter, an eager young guy, comes to the table.

“Ya’ll here for the King Tides this weekend? Nine foot tides tomorrow!”
