Carl’s brother Jim joined Carl on the boat and departed around 11:00 to catch the tide for the ride from Astoria to Rainier. Pam drove Jim’s pickup which was quite odd after two months of sea legs and sea speed. She felt she was going way too fast in town only to realize she was only going 20 miles per hour! She had plenty of time to explore so she decided to climb the Astoria Column which she had not done since high school. Then a slow paced exploration of small shops and eateries from Astoria to Rainier where she waited for Jim and Carl.
Jacob with two of our grand kids, Emily and Sam climbed on the boat as Jim was leaving and spent the night with us before we did our final day on the river.
Emily
and Sam were troopers and enjoyed wandering around the boat and watching other
boats pass us. They spent some time
below, drawing pictures on the backside of our paper charts. It was Awesome having them on board!
We docked at the house around 3:30. Approximately 2100 nautical miles, nearly to
Alaska and back over ten weeks! Quite
the trip for us.
