A Nice Afternoon

My nephew Mike and I took Popeye down Multnomah Channel Saturday on a lovely afternoon. No drama or story, just a sweet running boat and a lovely afternoon. I need to put a camera in the boat so I have pictures for the blog. At a leisurely 2300 rpm we made 4.8 knots over ground going downstream and 4.3 coming up. We were passed by almost every boat on the channel except an interesting stern wheeler that was human powered.
