Note about tides

High and low tides happen at different times even within a small geographical area. For instance, if you look at the tide tables for the Astoria waterfront, high tide happens about an hour earlier at Cape D and Seaside, which are about 17 milles west. It’s later in increments as you head inland.

Tall Ships in Ilwaco this weekend!

The Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, both tall ships owned by Gray’s Harbor Historical Seaport, will be in Ilwaco this weekend.

For more info, check out http://funbeach.com/events/tallships/index.html and http://www.historicalseaport.org

Both are replicas of cargo ships of the type that once sailed the waters of the Pacific Northwest. Imagine the Columbia River waterfront skyline complete with tall wooden masts and sails!
