Day 120; Aug 28: Up at 4:30 to go at 6 AM. It was dark and foggy, I watched the radar, charts and AIS targets while Carolyn watched out the windows. Thankfully, the fog lifted shortly after leaving Neah Bay. The water turned out to be better than the forecast which was good since we pulled into Westport at 6:30 PM. We went to the bar for fish and chips and a drink once we were tied up.

Day 121; Aug 29: We got going at 6:00 AM again. We had several whales in the distance shortly after leaving. The water was more unsettled than yesterday. It was what I call wet, not big waves but very splashy. We had water hitting the windshield a lot. Once we got over the bar we had about 400 boats greet us as they were fishing Buoy 10. We were tied up in Astoria at 1:30.

Day 122; Aug 30: Our 45^th anniversary! We went to breakfast, checked out some shops and went to dinner for the summary. I did try to get some of the salt off the boat.

Day 123; Aug 31: We used the Astoria Trolley as a taxi to get to and from the Sunday market.

Day 124; Sept 1: We got started for St Helens about 7 AM.  I was really surprised at the number of the boats up river of the bridge. We had to make our way through many more fisherman today verses Friday out at Buoy 10. I increased the RPM expecting that later we would be fighting tide but that never happened so we made it to St Helens before 2 PM. We packed a go bag and then spent a hour waiting for an Uber. Being home is really strange.
