PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — The fishing vessel “Judy,” which ran aground at South Beach State Park in Newport on Sept. 18, remains beached in the area a week later.
U.S. Coast Guard’s Pacific Northwest station spokesperson Travis Magee told KOIN 6 News that a salvage team is working on a plan to remove the boat from its resting place just south of the Yaquina Bay harbor entrance.
