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.

Sounds like an idyllic Saturday afternoon Dan. "Sweet running boat" says it all.

I've enjoyed looking at your blog. Especially since I would like to buy a legacy like yours and I'm going to have my first grandchild in March.
Do you still have your boat? Would you recommend it to me?
Thanks Steve

There is one in Kentucky. Would you advise for or against having one up in the sound out of Olympia.
