Trip on the Portland Spirit


We had a nice lunch below deck (next to a large window) on the way down the Willamette and then climbed to the top deck to enjoy the return trip. Here we are approaching  the cliff face opposite Elk Rock Island.


Just past Elk Rock Island on the left, straight ahead is the place where my Mom lives.


Turning around at Elk Rock Island, before heading back to downtown Portland



Past a fisherman who had just caught a chinook salmon!

Jan and Cynthia opposite the old pumping station (turned into a palatial home)




Wisteria climbing up into a tree on the bank.


Houseboats line the west bank as we move down river to Portland.



Jan and Cynthia looking for eagle's nest on Ross Island.





Oregon Museum of Science and Industry with the de-commissioned Navy sub "Bluefin" (I think that's the name)


Heading under the Markham bridge (I-5) opposite OMSI



Passing through downtown...






Off the boat and headed back to the car.
