Anchorages
Pleasant cruising calls for comfortable anchorages overnight. Some of the better spots are listed below, with their mileages from Astoria, but charts should be noted and caution exercised when entering many of them. Depths should be sounded and note should be made of tidal ranges before turning in the for the night. Open anchorages are subject to winds and to waaves from passing ships and barge tows.
