Sunny days on the river

The best, the bears, and I went down to Sellwood Waterfront Park yesterday evening for a concert (some pseudo-cajun band which I had never heard of before. I'm afraid my impression of them suffered badly in comparison with the band we saw on saturday and sunday), but I wandered off down to the banks of the Willamette to see if there was anything interesting going on out on the water. There was a pretty stiff wind blowing north, and a gaggle of small sailboats were taking advantage of it by sailing around and around just west of Ross Island. While I was watching them, the Portland Spirit came into sight around the foot of Ross Island, and I took a few pictures as it approached the sailboats.
