Episode Synopsis "A closer look at the Columbia’s new ship anchorage, and a bit about anchoring on the river"

Earlier this month, I made a passing reference to there being a new ship anchorage on the Columbia River near Skamakowa. Today we’ll look at that in more depth, and talk about the complicated affair of anchoring a gigantic ship on a swift, powerful and capricious river.   The post A closer look at the Columbia’s new ship anchorage, and a bit about anchoring on the river appeared first on The Ship Report.
