Two brothers and a sister on the high seas, oh my! Well, actually it was the Columbia River in Washington state. When the biggest brother comes to town for business, lovely wife along, it's a great time to hit the water in baby brothers sailboat.

The weather couldn't have been better for this outing. The timing was perfect, the day gorgeous. A passionate sailor, brother Charlie assured us that the west winds were a gift to us. We made our way along the Columbia towards Mt. Hood under full sail after leaving the harbor for about an hour and a half before tacking back to port to meet up with remaining family for an evening gathering.

We can only say - Phil, please leave California again soon to come see your clients in the Pacific Northwest. Bring Tina! Stay the weekend! Your relatives will thank you for it!
