Sail Boat Blew
"You can not make the wind Blow the way you want it to blow; But you can so adjust the Sails to take you where you want to go"
Blew is moored on the Columbia river at St. Helens Oregon. Blew 22 foot long and rather well equipped! With sleeping for four and a BBQ as well as Amateur Radio Equipment for 2 meters as well as a Atlas 210X which is used mainly for the 75 meter Band. Above Blew is at Kalama Washington a nice moorage with a rather small dock. You can see the Webster Band Spanner antenna on the stern of the boat. We have Sailed Blew from the San Juan Islands to Victoria BC. The boat has been from Astoria Oregon to Hood River on the Columbia. It is a great Boat for the Columbia. If you hear I am taking her across the Columbia River Bar better call the Coast Guard real fast!
The neatest trip we ever took in Blew was a month Sail around Puget Sound, every morning when Ben and I got up we would look at the direction the wind was coming from and head off that way. No set plan that is the way to Sail.
There are three main rules for a successful Sail and as long as a person remembers them they will have no problems at all.
1. You can not breath under water.
2. You can never Sail directly into the Wind.
3 I forgot the other one. "However you should be just fine if you follow the first two."
