OK, thanks Larry - sounds like I will be able to find it, although I am severely directionally challenged (I have to stand on my head to go south using the GPS chartplotter, this is not a joke). Next question, if I come down Friday night with a tent and a sleeping bag, wil there be some place to crash? Would like to mooch a ride with somebody for the fishing trip...will leave the durn dog home if I come for fishing...

OK Roger - The boat is cleaned up (kinda), the shore power is plugged in, the water heater is on, and the fridge is on and stocked with smoked sturgeon, beer, and a couple flavors of Oregon wine for Lisbeth to share with El. Also, the breakfast pastries are on the table. About all I have to do now is take the fancy rug down there and throw it back on the floor. See ya soon.

Roger and Lisbeth,

You are lucky folks. That's better treatment than the durn dogs get. Maybe I'm coming up and staying on the wrong boat. Oh well.

See you on the dock,

Tim

OK, Austin, Oscar and I am leaving Fall City at oh-dark-thirty tomorrow. Oscar will have crate! I will have fishing rod! And beer!

You ain't gonna believe it. I mean, who would of thunk it?? The beer guy hasn't made it yet, but the wine guy did. Amazing how we do these things. Also had a surprise showing of a few folks we didn't expect. Very nice surprise. The wind is blowing, and the rain is falling sideways, but nobody even cares (may be due in part to the wine guy, I'm not sure). Anyhow, we might go fishing in the morning. Might not. Who cares. What a great bunch of people.

More some other time........

Pat - I know you'll check this before you leave, so here's some more helpful hints.

When you come into Astoria on Hwy. 30, just keep on going through town - two-way, then one-way for a while, then back to two-way - and stay on the same road. When you go past and under the bridge across the Columbia (it's a big sucker - you'll see it coming), you are getting close to the bridge to my house. When you get to the roundabout (hey - that's what they call the ridiculous thing), it will put you right on the Youngs Bay bridge. Go across it, and turn right at the first light, which is just off the end of the bridge. Follow that road (Harbor Drive) for a little over a mile until you see a small bridge coming up. Just before you go onto that bridge, there is a small road to the left. Turn left on it and you will circle down past the Tackle Time bait shop, go under that same small bridge you didn't go over, and be in the parking lot for the marina. Then find a place to park on the far side of it, and walk down the first ramp you see to the docks. You'll see all the CDs, plus a few folks you know very well but probably weren't expecting to see.

If we do go out fishing, the TyBoo at least won't be leaving the dock until 10:00 am. So, you're welcome to go along, and will also be welcome on the Helen O, I'm sure.

Any problems anywhere along the way, call me on my cell phone. If I don't answer, which is typical, call El or Bill or Roger or Lisbeth or Tim or Larry or Jon or Cynthia or Fred or Robbin. Oops - I gave away the surprise, didn't I?

We probably won't bother going out to the ocean. Predicted combined seas of 15' at 9 seconds. If you really want to go outside, maybe we can get you a ride on the bar pilot boat.

I understand you'll be staying in some friends' camper, and that's probably a good idea because you might not weigh enough to hold a tent down. If Austin wants to stay at our house with his durn dog, we would enjoy that.

See ya later, my friend.
