This weekend we are at the Astoria Crab and wine fest.  We left on Wednesday, April 24th, our anniversary.  The first leg of the trip was down river to Cathlamet, then the next day down to Astoria, about 60 river miles total.  Had blues skies and great weather around 70f.  We have some special pics of our friends, Ron and Kathy's boat, The George Emery.  They are leaving Sunday to head up the coast to Alaska for two years!  We are so jealous and will miss them a lot.  We head home Sunday and will take us about 6 hours if we catch the tide right.
