Cruise Day 1 - Here We Go!

Left the dock this morning at 6:30am. Kind of sad to leave the beautiful Portland weather, family and friends. Excited for this new adventure starting right now. We love being retired! Today our cruise will take us from Salpare Marina on Hayden Island to Astoria. 86 miles.

Leaving Salpare Bay Marina
Goodbye Portland, on our way to Astoria today

 

Hello Astoria! Arrived at 1:00, a 6-1/2 hour trip. Water was flat and smooth all the way. First time ever. Put in 350 gallons of diesel, first time we have put in fuel since Gig Harbor. The weather is cloudy and cool, about 65 degrees.
Cheers! Cocktail time in Astoria. David bbq'd delicious ribs for dinner. Headed for Newport tomorrow.
