To get to our cabin on the Oregon coast we cross the Columbia river at Longview and then follow it out to the coast at Astoria. Astoria is located at the mouth of the Columbia, where freighters, in from the sea are met by the bar pilots to get them across the bar and into the river and then river pilots to take them up river to Portland. It’s always a very interesting place to spend a little time.

It is amazing to me - the vastness of your shores, land, and sea. Our Hawaiian islands are so tiny and compact. So different.
ReplyDeleteThrough the years we visited this area a number of times.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a nice place. We Havre the same here on our river Seine. The pilots go on board of the ships coming from Le Havre estuary of the river to go to Rouen Harbor.
ReplyDeleteNice to be on the water these days.
ReplyDeleteRiver pilot sounds like a cool and important job.
