St Helens Marine Park

A skip and a hop away from Portland is the town of St Helens, and front of which is the island of St Helens Marine Park. We had a...

Back to the Future

With our old obsolete GPS units that couldn't be upgraded anymore it was time for a serious refresh of the electronics in our pilothouse....

Catching Up

Being full time live aboard means we use the boat's system on a regular basis. I argue that's a good thing and keeps everything working....

Cruising by the Numbers

With our cruise completed, it's time to have a quick look at "the numbers". The interesting part as far as I am concerned is that the...

Beacon Rock State Park and a last hop

The park was as wonderful as we'd remembered it, but this time mostly empty which allowed plenty of local animals to come and pay us a...

The Gorge

We stayed a couple of days at The Dalles: We had done another round of clearing things from our cabinets so had a large bag of donations...

2 Locks, The Dalles, SS Legacy

A long day to get us back down to The Dalles with 2 lock transits planned: John Day and The Dalles locks. We decided to head further down...

Kennewick and Irrigon

Leaving beautiful Fish Hook behind we made way for Kennewick again, mostly as a stop to replenish our water tanks, get some decent...

Fish Hook with Friends

We kept Fish Hook on our "must return" list, so we decided to stop again on our way back down the river. The day was easy, with just the...

While I'm at it...

Today was a day off. Enjoy the quiet marina (Boyer again) and relax. Then, seeing the beautiful dry sunny weather, I figured it'd be a...

Lyons Ferry Park

We'd swore to avoid Lyons Ferry marina on the way back if we could, so we chose to go on the other side of the river instead at Lyons...

Our Own Private Idaho

After a last squirrel chasing session at the park for Princess, we set off to commence our return trip, but not before heading up river...

The Last Lock

Leaving Boyer we were less than 2 miles away from the last lock, Lower Granite Lock. I raised them on VHF 14 from the pump out station...

Boyer Marina

Little Goose Lock was only a few miles away from the marina and as we're now in winter schedule, the operator was happy to get the lock...

Lyon's Ferry.

Welcome to the Far West. Although we've been heading mostly East since leaving Portland, the further inland we've gone the more "Far...

Fish Hook

We left the Port of Kennewick late after planning a fairly short day of navigation. There aren't many marinas on the Snake River, so the...

Lost and Found

On arrival at Fish Hook Recreational Park's dock I noticed our rear fender was gone. I asked Di (who handles the stern of the boat during...

Port of Kennewick

We left as early as we could on a gloriously bright morning and made our way towards the Port of Kennewick. Within a short time we...

The Heat is On

We decided to push for a long day from Arlington to Umatilla, and we had typical fall weather the whole day. Low visibility and spitting...

Arlington

The other one... Yes there is a cemetery here too, but that's about the end of the similarities with the place we lived in when we first...
