Back to Sand Island 2018
July 2, 2018
There’s plenty of time to plan for a River Explorer’s Dream Cruise! |
Your hosts, Scott Stevenson of La Dolce Vita and Steve Weir of The Dew Drop Inn, are busy preparing to lead you on a downriver exploration that will kick off your summer with a sailing adventure to the mouth of the mighty Columbia. |
The 2018 CRSA Downriver Exploration! June 22 – July 1 |
Friday/Saturday June 22/23 – St Helens City Docks Monday, June 25 – Continue downriver to Cathlamet on the Washington side of the Columbia. Enjoy this quaint little town with an excellent little grocery for restocking. |
Tuesday, June 26/27 – We continue our adventures in anchoring with a Detour into the Delta. Relax and enjoy the quiet as we mosey through this seldom explored area with our experienced guide. |
Thursday, June 28 – Astoria! Gateway to the Pacific Ocean. Ride the trolly, take in the Riverwalk sights, get fresh tuna fish ‘n chips at Bowpicker. Friday, June 29 – Venture out across the bar, possibly a night in Ilwaco or, if you need to, head back upriver. Saturday, June 30 – Heading back upriver, hopefully with one of those great winds at our back. Sunday, July 1 – Back to PDX |
While the itinerary is going to be pretty much what is listed above, the schedule is fairly loose, depending on what the CRSA Explorer Fleet would like to do. For example, our hardy river explorers may decide they want to skip the CR Delta and proceed directly to Astoria or Ilwaco – not to worry, the rest of us will catch up. Others may only have enough time to make it to Cathlamet and then return home. This is a leisurely cruise – the CRSA Explorer Fleet participants may hop in/out as they please. |
And some of us might choose to stay in St Helens to watch the fireworks on the 4th before heading home. Any way you want to chart your course is fine with us. |
