Columbia River in Oregon

Last Saturday was Sailstice 2014 - second only to Christmas for me as a fun celebration day.

Traditional Signing of the flag at the end of the sail.

 Kevin Rhodes, Cheryl Miller, her two nephews Kraig and Kris, and myself were the crew this year.  We broke from the traditional sail around Sauvies Island because we were plagued again by the 300A fuse blowing after trying to start the motor. (PS that's now been sorted as to what the issue was and is fixed).   So we sailed down to the end of Government Island instead, keeping close to home in case of an emergency with the engine.

Here's a few pictures from the day.

See the full write up and more at www.svcarolmarie.com.  We do the Sailstice every year, almost always sailing around Sauvies Island on the Columbia River in Oregon.   Sauvies Island is larger than Manhattan Island.  This year we had engine problems and cut it short.  We year after we finish we sign the flag and retire it for the year.

Thanks,

Terry
