Finally, time came to move Double-Wide to Astoria. On Saturday we made a leg from Newport to Tillamook, OR. The trip was 8 hours and 15 minutes from dock to dock. Seas were 3-5 feet with a 6 foot surge. Speed was varied throughout the trip to get a feel for handling and to satisfy break-in recommendations. The bar at Tillamook was easily crossed at slack tide. After a relaxing night of sleep aboard, the below photo was taken at sunrise.
