Day 9

July 23. Sailed! Off the anchor today, and out into the river, where we tried to sail west (to windward) back to Astoria After a few tacks it was obvious we were not making very good progress against the tide, ended up motoring down to West Basin. Got showered, got the laundry started, and met up with our friends Sam and Jaimie Widmer, and their 7 year old Chloe. They brought us some supplies we needed, we got to enjoy their company for dinner. Thanks guys.
