I am so pumped! I just bought a Romany S yesterday and its hard to hold in the exitement. I`ll have it out on the Columbia this weekend. Time to play!

Hey Randy, when do I get to see it?

Hi Steve I`ll be on the Columbia this saturday and probably sunday to. Not sure of the time exactly yet, but I`ll keep you posted. I also met a freind of yours the other day. I forget his name but he worked at Fiber and just retired about a year ago, he wore gold jewellry. Anyway I`ll be in touch bye.

Randy, that friend would be, Jim.

When you say you will be on the Columbia, do you mean at Willow Grove? We put in at the picnic area--not the boat ramp. I always park at the first lot to the right as you enter the park--just east (upriver) of the restroom. That is the closest place to the beach.

I was out there yesterday and it was just like summer. The water isn't even cold yet. That isn't to say that I went swimming, but I'm still just wearing sandles. I don't mean that's all I was wearing; I had on shorts and...you know what I mean.

Anyway, if the weather sticks with us, I think I'll probably be out there this weekend also. Oh man, a ship went by yesterday that made some of the biggest waves I've seen from a ship. I thought for sure one of them was going to break on me and I was about to get very wet, but for some reason it didn't break. I'm sure glad I had the bow pointing the right way, though.

Ya Steve I`ll be at Willow G to. Saturday I`ll be there in the morning sometime not exactly sure yet, looks like I`ll be at my sons house for a BBQ in the afternoon. Give me a call friday evening and we`ll hook up for a paddle.

Thanks Steve for the great paddle. I had a great time, and ths scenery was awesome. I work all week, but maybe we can get out friday. Keep it in mind bye.

Hey Randy, I did go out yesterday (Sunday). The wind was really kicking up some waves. They were wild enough that I pulled out and carried the boat around a couple of the jetties rather than taking the chance of getting dumped on the way downstream to Cole Creek Slough.

After a trip up into the slough, the river had calmed down a little on my way back. Anyway, it was another good day on the river.
