Pirate Daze expected to bringing crowds to Westport Westport will be crawling with pirates June 28-30 when the city hosts the 18th annual Rusty Scupper’s Pirate Daze celebration. The event is appropriate for all ages and includes musical acts, belly dancers, fire dancers, black powder displays and vendors selling all your pirate needs. Tall ship Lady Washington will be at the Westport Marina throughout the event, available for tours and pirate sails, where pirates take over the ship for a two-hour adventure. This year’s Pirate Daze Grand Marshals are Brooke and Jarl Priest. Jarl is the owner of Westport’s Aloha Alabama Barbecue restaurant and Vacations by the Sea, and the two are very active in Pirate Daze and many other activities in the community. “They make our community a better place to live,” said Rosie Litterer, Pirate Daze president. “They donate and help out with most of the events and festivals we have in our community, they have worked with our school on many different events from field trips to food, for the children they have helped with family fun night fundraisers and much more. That is why The Rusty Scupper’s Pirate Daze board nominated them as our Grand Marshals.” Litterer continued, “They stand out among us in our community and go above and beyond to help others in need. They give back when they are able.” Entertainers will be working the length of Westhaven Drive throughout the event. Musical and other acts will split time between
4-mile stretch of Grayland beach closed to motorized vehicles July 3-5 A 4-mile stretch of beach from Warrenton Cannery Road to Cranberry Beach Road in Grayland will be closed to motorized vehicles between midnight July 3 and midnight July 5, according to the State Parks and Recreation Commission. The temporary closure includes the beach at Grayland Beach State Park, though the beach will still be accessible to park visitors via footpaths from the campground and day use area, according to a statement from Meryl Delena Lassen with the Parks and Recreation Commission. “Much of the area is currently closed for personal use to protect the nesting areas of the snowy plover,” said Lassen. “The closure to motorized vehicles during the Fourth of July fireworks will provide additional protection for this already endangered species.”

Westport: Recreational halibut day added in Marine Area 2 Another recreational halibut fishing date has been added — Saturday, June 29 — in Marine Area 2 (Westport). “There is sufficient quota to open recreational halibut fishing for an additional all depth fishing day in Marine Area 2,” read an emergency fishing rule change posted Friday. “Poor weather continues to contribute to low catch in Marine Area 2 and opening another day will provide anglers additional time to catch the remaining sport quota.” That means another crack at the $1,000 grand prize for the season’s largest halibut in the Westport Charter Boat Association’s annual derby. Currently the derby is led by Jeremy Jording of Olympia with a 60.55-pound fish caught May 12 aboard the Ultimate. There have been three halibut over 50 pounds entered in this year’s
derby, including a 51.25-pound fish caught aboard the Advantage during the last opener June 20. The following is a summary of open sport halibut days for all marine areas. • Marine Area 1 (Ilwaco): Nearshore: Open seven days per week. • Marine Area 2 (Westport): Open Saturday, June 29. • Marine Areas 3 (La Push) and 4 (Neah Bay): Open Saturday, June 22; Thursday, June 27; and Saturday, June 29. • Puget Sound (Marine Areas 5-10): Open Saturday, June 22; Thursday, June 27; and Saturday, June 29. • Marine Areas 1-10: Daily limit of 1 halibut per angler, with no minimum size limit. Annual limit of 4. All catch must be recorded on WDFW catch record card. Possession limits remain the same. • Marine Areas 11-13 are closed.
