Chapter 1

Chapter 1 completed. Left the home dock at noon and made Astoria around 5 PM. Weather was fantastic, sunny 85f and the water was a lake. Weather reports for the "run" to Neah Bay WA looks good. Should cross the Columbia River Bar around 0500-0530. An easterly breeze tomorrow and sunny weather promised. May get to practice my skill in fog navigation tomorrow.

Home dock empty for the summer.

This is a charter boat also heading to Alaska.  He takes folks on Kayak trips.
