4/22/2023 - Columbia River, Henry J. Kaiser Memorial Shipyard, Vancouver, WA

Time: 2.75 hours

Distance: 9.57 miles

We put into the Columbia River from the Kaiser Memory Shipyard in Vancouver, WA on an overcast but calm day. We paddled up-river to just past the I-205 bridge before turning back. We encountered a slight but steady breeze on the way back but throughout the trip temperatures were constant in the mid to high 50s, there was no precipitation and there were very few boats. All in all a good paddle.
