I think that would require more talent than I've had for swimming.

re: coastal towns

Well, there are stops in Toledo, Newport and Lincoln City, which means I also end up passing through Depoe Bay. So far, that's it for me, but others head out farther south and potentially farther north than I do. The only other place I'm sure of is Florence.

That would be taking your job skills to 11!

Sounds like a nice visit to the beach. Granted, you can't spend too much time with your toes in the sand, but maybe you get a lunch break. :D
