Returned by the Sea

SOLD

In the mid-1970's, while living in Eugene, I often drove to the Oregon coast during the winter months to see what I could find on the beaches after powerful storms. One of my favorite spots was the dunes at Florence.

After one especially violent storm I drove to Florence with friends to walk the beach. We found this old fishing dory lying at the water's edge. It was built from split & shaped logs, and had been tossed up on the shore by the Pacific's churn. During another later storm it was picked up by the waves and reclaimed by the sea.
