Sailing III

Well, Grandpa Vernon and I went sailing again today. Except today there was
an Alaskan storm blowing through Portland, so it was cold and rainy. So we
spent most of the time going up the Willamette with the motor on, till we
reached what used to be shipyards during WWII. We motored around there too,
looking at the remains of a mighty shipbuilding empire. After that, the rain
went away and the winds came up, so we hoisted the mainsail and ran downriver
back to Multnomah Channel. I motored up there a ways just to see what it
looked like; finding nothing, we went back, moored the boat and left.
