The adventure started Tuesday night with loading the car with all the food we had. After two days of sailing and kayaking, I can still assure that loading the car was the biggest challange until now ;) We spent the first night in the marina of St. Helens and left early the next morning. Chris on Andy and Marcia's boat and me on Dave and Mari's boat. We cruised all morning long, the sun was shining, and we saw the beauty of the river.
When we arrived at our first stop, in Cathlamet, we went kayaking and had a nice dinner together. It was already late at night and we decided to go to bed to be ready for our first day in Astoria. We are now on the water cruising to Astoria where we are going to spend the upcoming night. The sun is still shining and we are enjoying the beautiful day.
