September 4

We motor out with the tide to go up river. No wind. A couple of large ships pass us on the way up river. Some times it’s a bummer to only be able to make 5.5 kts. We get to Clifton channel, of Tenasillahe Island, and drop hook. Doug has gotten a few business calls on the way up, and we discover the cell phone signal is a little dodgy. We move a couple hundred yards closer to Clatskanie, and seem to get a better signal. Doug finishes up work, we play a game of Aggravation until bed time. Came down to who rolled a 1 first.
