First day logistics are a nightmare. It wasn't just finding parking, it was finding an appropriately sized shuttle car - and driver - and arranging for someone to watch the boats while the others where in transit.

It would have gone well, except the guy who had said he would watch the boats dropped out. We did a quick 'tuck and roll' and called for help. Lon W. graciously came and kept an eye on the boats and for that, I am forever grateful.

Hats off, boys, let's give some kudos where kudos are due:

  • Ken S and the Port of Astoria for letting us park our cars for a week on their lot.
  • Ken R for picking up the van, driving us from Astoria to Beacon Rick, and dropping the van off again.
  • Lon W for coming and watching the boats while we were in transit.

It couldn't have happened without you guys. Thanks.
