Tis morning we’ll see the Serenade of the Seas, a big, blue-water cruise ship that will be docked at the Port of Astoria all day. She’s on her way back down south for the winter, having stopped here in May when she was headed north for a summer of cruises in the Puget Sound region and perhaps Alaska.
Astoria’s cruise ships are usually these repositioning cruises, which move ships between summer and winter cruising areas, with a stop in between to visit our city. There will be three more of these ships arriving here this fall, the last one in October.

Well, I’m back, at least mostly upright – after a supposedly mild (it didn’t feel very mild to me) bout of pneumonia!
I was flat out on the couch last week, but I’m glad to be back, though I’m moving slowly. Looking forward to reclaiming my energy in the coming weeks.
Today we’ll talk a bit about the weather offshore locally, about a solo sailor out there braving it, and a look at some ships.
Stay healthy!

We’ve got a new pilot boat operating on the Astoria waterfront these days. She’s called the “Swift” and she’s a new addition to the local fleet.
Today we’ll talk about her and also about pilot boats in general: a very unusual breed of vessel.
