Speed Boat on the Wilamette

Mike and I had a fantastic time with Clark, Lorne, Christine, Carol and Gene on a speed boat ride on the Wilamette River. In between 360s and massive waves soaking us, we saw many Portland sites from the river. It was a fun ride and interesting to see so much of the waterfront.




We went all the way up the river to Oregon City where we could see the old papermills, a waterfall and old locks used to move ships and other water vessels up the river.





I'm not quite sure these pictures capture how soaked we were, particularly Michael. Mike was seated on the side, which was favored by the driver, for taking the most water on his 360 spins. I think there was only a small strip of dryness under his left arm!
