From an ‘armada’ cruise, sailing with the Nelson/Winkler clan joined us with their ‘mothership’ Toketee down on Sand Island on the Columbia, Moontide and her crew finally had some time on the water.
Including some fun daysails: Sharon Sparks, Noreen Grossnickle, and Michael Dowding with the “Dowding Orphans” reunion in August anchored on the Willamette River.
