Ventura Harbor 30 March 05
From: Scott Miller, Operations Manager, Ventura Port District

Debris in/near harbor
Ocean waters muddy near shore; floating debris still a threat
to props and hulls. Slowing down increases one's ability to spot
trees and logs in the water and can reduce damage if a log or tree cannot be
avoided.
