The Tale of Astoria vs the Sea Lions
An Oregon Coast story
The sea lions were becoming a problem.
While they may be cute, and their bark may echo across town, they took
over the dock that many local fisherman use.
And they were not letting fishermen pass.
There was an attempt
After a few attempts to irritate the sea lions, the Port decided to break out the big guns- and by big guns, it was actually a whale. A fake mechanical whale, made of fiberglass, and piloted by a human. The Port meant business.
But the whale...
sank.
The pilot of the faux orca (who may or may not also resemble a villain
from Scooby Doo) was not pleased.
The Port of Astoria decided to try one more thing.
It would be very silly.
But it just might work.
