We mean that literally. If you were looking off the coast near Newport, OR today, you would have noticed the Salvage Chief offshore about a mile. According to Finavera Renewables, the ship has been doing work on recovering the Finavera Buoy, which sank last fall. Over the past several days they have been at work removing sand, cutting chain, and getting the buoy ready to lift. The plan was to lift the buoy today and have it at the entrance to Yaquina Bay earlier this afternoon - no word yet if all went to plan. The Coast Guard is putting a 500 yard restriction on the vessels while they are towing the buoy. They’ve also asked that interested persons stay away from the work site, as there are divers in the water and subsurface devices also in the water.
