Lewiston Id
Boat Info
I am restoring my boat that I picked up last year its a 1987 Sea Ray cuddy cabin 230
Engines
350 Chevy Mercury out drive
I live in Lewiston and am planning a boating trip to Astoria Wa. Does anyone have any info. that would be helpful (fuel stops, moorings, docks, campgrounds etc). I would appreciate any help, thanks.
 
I know the lower Columbia. Fuel at Dickerson fuel dock in Portland or at Kalama which is a little lower. Places to saty, Beacon Rock if you get there in the middle of the week, government Island, Sandy Island or St. Helens. Cathlamat is also a nice place but unless you know the sand bars in Cathlamat channel go the long way around. Speaking of sand bars stay in the channel below beacon rock to Portland and once you hit the Columbia River flats above Astoria.

PM First class as he has experiance from Tri-Cities to Portland and the locks...
 
Old Blue, I've cruised the stretches of both rivers you're talking about, having traveled from Lewiston to the mouth of the Snake and also from the Tri Cities to Portland a few times.

I have some Excel spreadsheets that have the distances between cities/marinas/etc on the Columbia that I can email to you if you want to PM me with your email address. Also, if you have any specific questions feel free to fire away with them.
