The 25th is a couple of days before the full moon. A strong ebb tide will push us down the river. The high tide at Toledo is predicted to be at about 11:00. The high tide at the Cannon Quarry ramp should be about a half hour later, but since we don't need to rush to get to the Toledo ramp before the sun goes down we can wait until the tide gets moving good and leave about noon. The float to the ramp near the airport should take less than a couple of hours and we can leisurely shuttle trailers and load boats before we go into Toledo for pizza from Cobblestone Pizza, or Hawaiian food at Cafe 235.
