Mary-Rain O'Meara

Maiden voyage on River Rose with OWSA BOAST crew. 7 of us went out: Julie, Mary Rain, Erin, Annie, Alexandra, Bernadette and Jessica. Beautiful early spring day on the Columbia, sunny and cool, winds were light. Practiced a few jibes and running wing on wing.

Very little wind, but plenty of post-record rainfall debris floating in the water, along with barking sea lions. Mt. Hood was partially obscured by low clouds, but at least we could see the biggest logs in the water because of the seagulls sitting on them. There was occasional excitement with wakes from power boats, but otherwise a peaceful time.
