Crescent City Harbor is a large park entirely in concrete, except for a mermaid in wood who peers intently at all visitors, looking like an angry sea. Sunday is a good time to come, for not many people are around and you can watch fishers bleed fish, cut fish, sell filets to waiting humans and toss innards to creatures in waiting. Over the railing sailed a chunk of tuna.
Sea lion went for it, only to be attached by gull. Pelican just waited, flapping its long beak, while loon swam by offshore, not laughing. Opposite Mermaid was Del Norte Sheriff's Department of Boat and Safety, United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Commercial Fishermen's Wives Association. Close by was the boat "Fantastic," out of the water, up on boards, and being re-painted.
