Last week Wolfy and I had an adventurous sail on the mighty Columbia.
The sun was out at first but then the weather started to deteriorate.
The wind picked up to 27mph with gusts to 40.
We ran for cover - the boat launch,
which was 25 feet wide and only one pontoon 30 feet long because the river was low.
Spray was flying over the bow - my 8' racing El Toro is named Spray.
All Wolfys training paid off and she obeyed my commands perfectly and her master made a perfect docking in 40 mph gusts.
One of my most memorable sails in my sixty six years of sailing.
Once again the day was heaven on earth and I laughed at the surveillance.
My Fathers spirit is always with us.
He built my first El Toro for me when I was nine years old.
