An image of the back of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse showing the lantern room waiting to be hoisted up into position. The first attempt had to be abandoned due to the hoisting cradle being too narrow, so it was lowered and the cradle widened. Sadly by the time that was done, it had become too windy to proceed, so now they are waiting for more favorable winds. Possibly this afternoon, but more likely tomorrow.
Went out to watch the installation of the lamp room on the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse today, but after one unsuccessful attempt (due to an issue with the hoisting cradle) the next attempt was scrubbed due to wind.
