Pacific City has become a lot of things, including busy and crowded with people. But one thing that hasn't changed is the Dory Fleet and the historic perspective it brings to this town that was once nothing and now on everyones radar. | Rick Dancer | Facebook

I grew up in Oregon. Since I was 10 part of that life was spent in Pacific City, on the Oregon coast. I've watched the dory fleet in this stretch of water for decades. A few years ago, got to take my first trip out with a local family. This is a story about Oregon.It's a story about a father and what he giving his sons. It's about an industry, like so many in Oregon that is over-regulated and managed to death. But what you learn is the things that are worth fighting for. | Rick Dancer
