1st Voyage
March 17, 2025 Christening Ceremony
Sunset Sailor is a miniboat built by students of Mr. Miller’s 5th grade class at Pacific Ridge Elementary. The name was chosen because it matches the design of the sail. With the sun shining on its red deck and hull, Sunset Sailor was christened at Columbia River Maritime Museum on St. Patrick’s Day 2025, which we hope will provide this miniboat good luck!
The students delivered Sunset Sailor to the Columbia River Bar Pilots boat Astoria. Thanks to Columbia River Bar Pilot Michael Tolley, the students got to take a boat tour too.
We are awaiting favorable weather conditions, easterly wind, outgoing tide, and swift current to take the Sunset Sailor into the Pacific Ocean from the deployment location of 5 miles beyond the mouth of the Columbia River.
