Goin' with the flow...

Ahh, this is more like it! We are tied up to a little public dock on Sand Island, near St. Helens, OR. We are only about 20 miles downriver from Portland, but our sailing adventure has begun! Chica is along, and she is having an interesting time adapting to the little rubber non-skid booties Vicki got her. She can't quite believe that she won't slide on the deck like usual. The weather is nice, and we have a good forecast (in terms of our ocean passage) for the next few days. Tomorrow on to Astoria.
