The Sweet Days of Spring

The first baby of the year.

The first gosling of the year.

Spring it seems may have come to stay. The resident geese at the marina came by to show off their new baby. It’s the first gosling of the season and sure sign that we have turned the corner from winter and a new sailing season has arrived. Another sure sign is that the Sunday racing fleet has returned in force to the Columbia River in Portland Oregon.
