Frustration & Wonder


Wednesday, July 1 @ 22:52

Picture is of Coby on our trip down the Columbia from Portland to Astoria, June 7, 2009 

Wind is from the south. Trying to make way. Traveled just 15 miles, but made only 2 miles headway. One of the banes of having a GPS – could see this wavy line going back and forth over the same place, like an etch-a-sketch.

Hard to concentrate. A result of the solitude?

There is a fish hanging out for protection next to the really big fish that is Snookums. Amber translucent body,  dark stripe outlining  the fish shape in reflective blue.

He saw for the first time a wonderful sight: the Milky Way reflected in the ocean.

  1. I guess the NOAA file is predictive...Ouch!!
    He should have already been in 5-8 knots of wind from the north...Hopefully that comes soon.
