Astoria
We left Cathlamet under beautiful blue sky around 1pm today and had a short 3-1/2 hr trip to Astoria where we are currently tied up on the end tie of "B" row. It is overcast right now with prediction of rain for tonight & tomorrow and we're just vegging out while we wait for Michael & Mary to arrive. After checking NOAA weather on the internet and listening to the weather robot on the VHF it appears we are going to learn to love Astoria for a while. sigh... Looks like a series of icky storms coming through so "maybe" early next week we'll see something promising. As we wait, we'll fill the time finishing projects that were not completed in Portland, sightseeing, and just "hanging about" the boat. For those who were worried...we aren't leaving until the weather looks good. For the others...we aren't leaving until the weather looks good!

Sandy, I remember when a couple other boats were leaving for the first time. They too waited the weather... and after 2 weeks, they realized they were having the fear of leaving... so the next day with reasonable weather, not perfect, they left. after a couple of uncomfortable days underway, things smoothed out and they were in San Fran before they knew it. Don't wait for perfect, but definitely look for reasonable. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Linda W.
