Becky and the Scoter

 On the float at the Paddle Center, Skamokawa, WA. Skamokawa is about 20 miles west of Longview, on the Columbia River. |
 Paddle Center in background. Entering Skamokawa Creek thin at low water; high water essential. |
 Route from Westport, OR, upriver several miles, and then looping down alongside Puget Island to Skamokawa and back. 32 nm |
 July 4 we anchored out at the SE corner of the Marad Basin, sleeping in the cuddy. |
 On the hook, after sandwiches and cookies. |
 Mellow sunset followed spitty drizzle; fireworks were heard but not seen. |
 Popular bedtime activity. Cuddy very comfy for lounging; needs work for sleeping. |
 Westward leg next morning led to breakfast and java, courtesy of Coffee Girl Emily on Pier 39. Good espresso and treats. |
