Keeping the ships off the rocks

Yaquina Head Lighthouse
SEASIDE, OR - - Construction on the YHL finished in 1873. It is the tallest lighthouse on the Oregon coast.  It is now automated (since 1939) although we didn't detect the 2-second flash which should be seen 18 miles out.  The 'signature' of the light is a 2-second / 2-second / 2 second series followed by a 14-second blank.  As with past days on the coast, the coastal layer of fog was swirling about.
