Ahoy,
We had a very nice river cruise today. With a steady Breese, a pushing tide and a little help from the iron Genoa we made it to Rainier/Longview/Kelso and tied ZERO to the city dock.
Traffic was pretty slow but a couple big guys were using the fast lane and even when we made up to 8,5 kn on some parts it felt like we were anchored when they overtook us with 15 kn.
The scenery was changing from beautiful to more beautiful and turned to shitty when we reached our destination.
Welcome to the NW and ColumbIA River. You have arrived to my cruising area as we keep our boat moored in Kalama just upstream from Rainer. We have enjoyed following your adventures on your Web postings. Hope you enjoy your visit in our waters, if there is anything we can do for you locally just ask.
Ahoy, thanks for the offer. We enjoy your cruising area a lot. Lovely place.
