NEWPORT - Sunlight drapes the docks at South Beach, and a cool north wind blows the trawler into port.
The June II quietly glides sideways to its place at the base of the Carvalho Fisheries dock, across Yaquina Bay from Newport's Old Town. Jared Reeves climbs out of the wheelhouse and hops onto the deck. Both skipper and crewman, 23-year-old Reeves ties his boat off at midship and tosses a line up to the waiting dock worker.
