I'd be surprised if he makes it over the Columbia River Bar.

My father was a Port Pilot there for a time. And that place is a killer of even big ships.

I recently heard that some tribes bury their ancestors in rock out croppings above the rivers. He explained that they would sit them up right in a fetal position and then cover them with rocks. As the body decomposed the ooze would seep in to the river and this ooze was what created in the scent in the river that the salmaon would follow upstream to the right sopt to spawn.

As he explained this was the “circle of life”...
