Fishing With Finn?

Exchange Student Finn Grewe had some explaining to do, according to President Ray! From the evidence presented, it looked as though he was doing some fishing out on the ocean with Cam Appleton – and a successful trip it was!

Finn also told us about his experience as part of the Lost Coast Rotaract Club’sSpirits & Spirits” Fundraiser. And he also made some apple cider!

Plans for Humboldt Bay

Larry Oetker, the Executive Director of the Humboldt Bay Harbor District., was our Featured Speaker. He came to tell us that the District wants to know that the Port of Humboldt is “Ready for Your Business”!

Larry provided some of the facts and figures about the bay, and why it is well-suited for many types of industrial and passenger ocean traffic, and he told us about the possible benefits of offshore wind power generation. He also told us of the upgrades that the Harbor District has made to the former Samoa Pulp Mill.
