Daughters of Neptune 2026 Participants

There is still time for your club to Sponsor or provide a Daughter to the program this year. Over the last couple of years, we have grown the program with new events as well as traditional events. The requirements for the girls along with more information can be found on the website page located Here. Questions? Contact Alicia Robinson the Coordinator for the program at Alicia@crya.us.

The Coast Guard is looking for feedback on the clearance requirements for the new I-5 Bridge and is specifically looking for a few sailboats mentioned by name in the following article. It is interesting to look at the information in this Public Notice about proposed clearance heights being proposed. PLEASE - Read the article and if you know of these larger sailboat's owners let them know their feedback is being requested.

From the WOOO 2026 President



Happy New Year to our friends at the Columbia River Yachting Association—and congratulations on your terrific work with Oregon Parks to repair Schwitter Landing and Hadley’s Landing, ensuring boaters have safe, welcoming cruise destinations in 2026.

This is tangible proof that dedication, persistence, and passion truly do make change happen. CRYA’s leadership delivers real results for the boating community, and WOOO deeply values your partnership and the collective power that comes from working together.

Well done—and thank you for investing in Oregon’s rivers and the people who enjoy them.

Please Share your boating Stories of Interest to our team to Share with others. Club things, Community Boating Things, Personal Boating Stories. Many things are of interest so Please Share!

We can't see every club's internal communication, but we have to think some of the articles would be great information for all boaters. If you find that article of interest, please forward it to cryanews@gmail.com after getting approval to share. We can all be more informed.
