Bookmark this page so you can come back to remind yourself when the dreary days return that we DO occasionally have BEAUTIFUL days in winter in the Portland Metro area!

| Saint Johns, the prettiest bridge in Portland, IMHO |

We left downtown Portland early this morning so that Al could get us through the Steel Bridge lift we need, and then begin his work call. I took the helm at the Fremont Bridge and brought us back to the marina, where Al's call completed just in time for him to bring us into dock! (Of course, I adjusted speed to insure that happened. I have not brought Viking Star into close quarters yet--I have only practiced touch-and-go's, once.)
Now I am busy hauling laundry back and forth on the dock, and made a trip to acquire more quarters to run said laundry. Also gassed the car and did some light provisioning.
