Greetings from the Palouse!

John, our club (Clover Island Yacht Club) is doing a cruise to Umatilla Marina July 16-18. We will be there but in our RV. Come on over to the dock that's furthest to the east and say hello.

Welcome Palouser and GO COUGS!

I have a 25 Nordic Tug on a trailer and it would work well for the downstream run as it sips fuel and cruises comfortable. I wouldn't want to do the bar or offshore, though others have told me it is possible.

The trip from Lewiston to Astoria (back on the trailer) is on the bucket list.

I have an old Duckworth for Lewiston on up...

I travelled on the Snake and Columbia Rivers from Lewiston, ID to Vancouver, WA last week, from Monday through Saturday. We were underway 6 to 10 hours a day, with about half the time in the dark.

I was surprised at how little vessel traffic there was. We didn't have to share a lock with anyone, and rarely met more than 1 boat an hour, even including towboats.

Is there a time of year that's busier than July in this area?

Hi, We travel the Columbia River often mostly in Eastern Oregon and we are always amazed how few boats use this beautiful resources. We are so blessed to have the mighty Columbia in our back yard. In some ways it maybe good it is not well known.
