Hey Group! The Left Coast is home to a bunch of the fin keel boats. Betty Lou spent most of her life in Puget Sound as Rainbow. She's now home ported in St. Helens, Oregon on the Columbia River. The last two summers we have gone offshore and cruised in the San Juans and the West coast of Vancouver Island at Barkley Sound. This season we had to spend vacation time moving a daughter to Arizona for grad school and don't have the time for a trip North, so we are spending a 10 days exploring the lower Columbia. We'll anchor out in several quiet backwaters, visit the ports of Cathlamet, Astoria and Ilwaco, and cross the bar for a day of ocean sailing if conditions permit. The forecast is for 80 degree days for the next week or so!
Watch this space for a trip report and link to a geo-linked slide show.
Fair Winds --
