Slogging along

Wow!! We are on our way but at a snails pace. Fighting almost a 3 knot current makes for slow going!! But we have been shedding layers and it is a BEAUTIFUL day on the river!!

*Update: still almost five miles from Longview may have to arrive in St Helens after dark or just run through the night. Fighting a 3+ knot current is the pits. Coming through some of the narrow channels we are down to 2.5 knots or less. Sauntering speed. Wait Bob just said we are going to stop in behind Walker Island and be on our way again by 5 in the a.m. So there you have it!! Two miles from Walker. No place else between here and SH.

**Belay that last update!! We are now continuing. Not sure for how long or to where. Bob wasn't kidding when he said, "for the first time I don't have a plan.". And a once again Ian along for the ride!!
