After hang-out here in Westport over one month. Time to rent a car to see Astoria. On the way from Westport to Aberdeen there is a restaurant at Wesport Winery to have breakfast, lunch or dinner or drink. (produce their own wine)

We got to know the owner after the bus forgot to stop by as they promise. As we tried to call the only one Taxi in Westport and he seems too drunk. The wife of the owner noticed and she suddenly offer to drive us back to Westport by her husband owner. They both experienced boating a lot 25 years ago before open this successful winery. The food taste delicious also great wine.

From Aberdeen to Astoria takes time about 1.45 hours driving along highway 101. Will pass Willapa (Willapa is a place for oyster) shoal water from the Pacific ocean. Few boat will cross to Willapa Bar because of shoal water. It became very rough even on a normal day without storm.

Cape Disappointment

This is the main reason I wanna come to Astoria. To check on the light house and watch the Columbia River Bar. Why the time we were here at the bar was quite nice and if so we should take the boat here. Later on weather change again. The weather can be change so quick here and it can be rough as in Willapa Bay. We watch the pilot boat help big ship to cross the bar safely.
