My friend says, Sailing a blue water open ocean race is one of my bucket list items and I’m pretty excited to be able to do this. I look forward to telling you all about how much fun it was when I return. post 
J/42 Sailboat S/V Velocity sailing on the Columbia River.
Our start is Tuesday July 12th at 11am PDT and we expect to be sailing for two weeks. I’m crewing on a J/42 sailboat S/V Velocity. post
Expect at least one picture a day on my blog . We also have a boat blog on which the owner/skipper will be posting
Skipper reports July 13th, "We had to withdraw from the race this afternoon, due to a contaminated water supply."
