Due in part to my food poisoning episode this week, we have pushed the departure back one day to Sunday the 7th, early. I will go down the Columbia River with Coby, a two day agenda.
Blessedly, our change in plans enabled us to have a relaxing dinner with Ali and get a good night's sleep. Today we are doing everything we would have done until the wee hours -- we are trying not to add any extra tasks with the extra time. Breathe.
Plan to rest and re-test communication systems in Astoria. Then Wednesday morning, I will disembark, and Coby, si Díos quiere, will cross the bar. I can wave from an observation tower. The river is so wide that we will need binoculars to see each other.
He received a wonderful waterproof video camera from a friend, and a waterproof film camera from another. We will have to wait until he makes port to see the images; he will be sending me test messages of 160 characters max. We have sheets of text abbreviations and acronyms to help us. I'll post the public portion of these messages here.
