We were blessed with gorgeous, sunny weather for our first full day of excursions on the river!

We visited Waikiki Beach in Cape Disappointment and took in the spectacular sight of the Pacific Ocean as well as an installment of the Confluence Project by Maya Lin. From there we visited the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, a museum with beautiful views of the mouth of the Columbia, to learn more about these explorers.

We also explored Astoria today, visiting the Columbia River Maritime Museum and the Astoria Column. Some of us climbed the 164 stairs inside the column and were rewarded with panoramic views at the top!

Tonight, we sail away from the Pacific, up the Columbia River and into more adventures tomorrow!
