Not my cup of tea--yet. Maybe one of these years I'll get brave enough to go on a Blues Cruise during the blues fest. Looks like a lot of fun, but I'm not too sure about being on the water when someone I do not know personally is in charge of the vessel. I think that's the Portland Spirit heading south on the Willamette River. 713 p.m. Folks board just north of the Hawthorne Bridge, a portion of which you can see on the left of the photo. That brick building in the distance, visible above I-5, is the Multnomah Building--I work on the third floor facing the river.
