PNW Offshore Race 2025On Thursday morning, 19 sailboats set out from Ilwaco, Wash., out to sea across the Columbia River Bar. At an appointed time, they crossed the starting line and began a four-day race northward, 193 miles to Victoria, BC. The annual PNW Offshore Race is underway.

 How does a community balance historic extractive industries like logging, fishing, agriculture, and mining with tourism and recreation? It's not as simple as wanting to move away from extraction and toward tourism. In this episode, we're headed to Ilwaco, a small town on the coast of Southwest Washington. The communities of Pacific County have historically relied on fishing and logging, and the town of Ilwaco is currently working to balance these historic industries with recreation and tourism.

A few things: a new ship in town, a tsunami warning (whew!), and Ilwaco's Crabpot Christmas Today, a medley of things to talk about: a new, locally built military vessel on the Columbia; that scary tsunami warning yesterday and what it reminds us to consider.

Our five-part experience on the Columbia resumes on the shoreline. We are still on Sauvie Island, walking along the beach of a wooded peninsula called Willow Bar Beach. It's a cool late October morning. The wave action is the wake of small, medium and large ocean-going ships, their lumbering mechanical sounds out of earshot on the far side of the river where the channel runs deep. The wildlife is distant so there is more room for my musical score. Consequently, almost the whole way through there are synthesizer drones that just kind of glow and oscillate slowly like embers in a fire, like the rising and falling of the water, the breaking and ebbing waves. The soundscape in our soundwalk is edited to effect a pre-industrial, quieter time. I'm very curious about that long-gone history, those old ways.A Culture Nearly Washed AwayLast time I wrote about how Sauvie Island was once a cradle of indiginous civilization, perhaps more densely populated than any other Native American site on the continent. Archeologists speculate that the Portland Basin could have once been the home of 30-40,000 Native Americans in the 1700's. When Lewis and Clark came back up the river in 1806 they estimated the Sauvie Island population of some 2400 persons, and described Multnomah as the “remains of a large nation”. This was over decade after the introduction of small pox to the region from the first white traders on the west coast. Within 30 years the island was almost entirely depopulated following waves of malaria. Nevertheless the Chinookan culture survived, and though their tribe is not federally recognized, the diaspora are alive and well with tribe members living in Bay Center, Chinook and Ilwaco in Washington state, and Astoria and Grande Ronde in Oregon, among other places.Willow Bar has only recently joined the mass of Sauvie Island. It was an island group in in the early 1900's Clan-nah-quah was the name given to a village on the south end of the channel separating Willow Bar, about a mile north of Multnomah (máɬnumax̣), the largest village on Sauvie Island.In their “Estimate of the Western Indians”, Lewis and Clark observed: “Mult-no-mah Tribe reside on Wap-pa-tow Island [Sauvie Island] in the mouth of the Multnomah [Willamette River], the remains of a large nation, 6 houses, probable number of souls, 800. Clan-nah-quah's tribe of Multnomah's on Wappato Island below the Multnomars, 4 houses, probable number of souls, 130.” The Clan-nah-quah site is now nearly all washed away, only a bank of broken camp rock on the river shore marks the place. Stone Age of The Columbia (1959)Camp rock, AKA fire-cracked rock, FCR, fire-affected rock, or FAR, is not conspicuous to most folks. It looks like ordinary rock to me. Archeologists spot it on many a Columbia River shoreline as a vestigial reminder of native peoples' inhabitation. These cracked stones and fragments are the result of years of being heated in a fire by humans for cooking and providing a longer lasting heat source. Maps seem to suggest accretion along the shoreline, not erosion, The lumpy sandy landscape near Willow Bar suggests the channel was plugged with dredge spoils sometime in the last 50 years. [Around 1960, actually.] I'm no archeologist but I'm curious to know more. I read a 2021 doctoral student's 300 page thesis project regarding Sauvie Islands' western shore, wherein the author discovered 8 unrecorded archeological sites, 3 of which were determined to have “high archeological value”. I think it's probably important to clarify here that high archeological value means in a nutshell is that the site may contain a multi-decade, or even multi-century refuse pile called a midden. When excavated carefully, a midden can tell a layer-by-layer story of the human habitation. It does not in all likelihood mean that there is a beautiful stone sculpture slumbering away in the soil. Still, Sauvie's Island has a record of artifact discovery that conjures the imagination. The Portland Art Museum mounted a show in 1952 entitled Prehistoric Stone Sculpture of the Pacific Northwest. More recently, in 2005, an even bigger collection was assembled for the People of The River exhibition. (The show produced a sizable book.) It's more or less a once in a generation event to see these sculptures in one room. Hence, the story of the Native American artists of Sauvie Island, and more generally the Chinookan tribes of the Lower Columbia is not well known.Of course, in piecing together the story, it doesn't help that early settlers and relic hunters plundered sites, hoarding and selling artifacts to private collectors before laws prohibited such activity on public lands. Assembling enough pieces from institutional and private collections to mount an exhibition is a daunting task.An interesting story, which reads like lore, comes from amateur archeologist Emory Strong:There is an interesting and well authenticated story about one of the collections made on Sauvies Island. One of the early settlers built his home on the deserted site of one of the larger villages. In clearing the land numerous artifacts were found, and the wash from passing steam-boats and the yearly flood eroded more from the banks.This man picked up and saved the best of them and eventually accumulated a large collection of exceptionally fine stone and bone carvings and chipped pieces. Growing old and not wanting his collection to become dispersed, and as there was then no local museum to donate it to, he buried it in one of his fields. There it yet lies, the best single private collection of Indian work in the west. Some day it may again erode from the bank. Stone Age of The Columbia (1959)Hmm. Not sure how much stock to put into that. On a somewhat related note, though, just a couple days ago I saw this stone bowl on display at the Grande Ronde Chachalu Museum and Cultural Center:There were several very old baskets and woven pieces, three small possibly pre-contact carvings on display, but this was the only larger stone sculpture piece on display. I asked the woman at the front desk about it. She said it was found at a dump. Huh? She didn't have any other details to offer. But as I thought more about it, there was a village site on the Columbia Slough near the old St. Johns Landfill in north Portland (now capped with a prairie habitat). Could that be the dump in this story? Or perhaps it was a variation on the old an it fell off the back of a truck line accompanying repatriation of an illegally collected relic? A mystery… This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chadcrouch.substack.com/subscribe

A look into the history in this week’s edition of All Over The Map reveals that Ilwaco isn’t the original name of the town, and that this isn't the first time its residents have faced adversity after a big fire.

As the crab fleet goes to sea, more hard work awaits As our Dungeness crab fleets up and down the coast head out to sea, our Ilwaco crabbers are especially on our minds. They worked so hard to get to the point where they could make this season opener happen, after a devastating facility fire destroyed equipment last week. Their reward is more hard work, in the year's worst weather. Today we'll take a look at what it could be like out there on the ocean for fishermen this week in the Pacific Northwest. It's a story of difficult, dirty dangerous conditions, and the opportunity to do it all again between catches. All the more reason to send a prayer or a good thought to fishermen, the next time you sit down to a seafood dinner.

Crabpot "Dump Day" becomes a symbol of victory over tragedy Ilwaco, Washington's Dungeness crab fleet headed out to sea in the wee hours this morning, to start dropping baited crab pots ahead of the Thursday season opener here. Today is "dump day" - the day crabbers can legally start dropping pots, so they can harvest them on Thursday, they hope, full of crab. The fleet's comeback was nothing less than astounding, after an incredible fundraising and gear-gathering effort on the part of people and businesses all along the coast. Neighbors joined forces to step in and save the fleet from the aftermath of a horrific fire last week that destroyed critical gear and a fishing facility on Ilwaco's waterfront.

Efforts continue to help Ilwaco's commercial crabbing fleet After a stunningly successful week of fundraising and gear-gathering, community efforts to help Ilwaco, Washington's Dungeness crab fleet regroup, after a devastating fire, seem to be well on their way. What remains now is to get that gear rigged and baited in time for a Monday "presoak" deadline. That's the day when the first crab pots can be put in the water, to allow fishermen to pull pots full of crab on Thursday, the official opening day of the season.

Ilwaco Cannery fire wreaks havoc on PNW coastal fishing community On Monday, a devastating fire destroyed the historic Ilwaco Landing Cannery building on the waterfront in the fishing community of Ilwaco, Washington. The building and dock were gutted, and thousands of Dungeness crab pots destroyed. It was a crushing blow to the local fishing community, slated to open the local crab season on February 1. Today we'll talk about some of the details of the fire, and efforts to help families who are reeling in the aftermath of the fire. PNW commercial fishing orgs up and down the coast are gathering gear to help fishermen replace what was lost.

Neighbors helping neighbors On Monday, a devastating fire destroyed a commercial fishing facility in Ilwaco, Washington, along with thousands of Dungeness crabpots belonging to Ilwaco's fishing fleet. With just a week till the opening of the crabbing season, things looked bleak. But a far-reaching and effective community response from other PNW fishermen, and the public, to gather gear and raise funds, may allow fishermen and their families to continue their work, and retain their livelihoods. A great example this week of neighbors coming together in a crisis.

It's the holidays, and so we're seeing some of our beloved coastal traditions coming around again. One unique local maritime tradition here on the Columbia happens in the port town of Ilwaco, Washington. It's the lighting of the "World's Tallest Crabpot Christmas Tree." This festive event features pictures with Santa and the tree, a reading of a local Christmas story about Santa and the US Coast Guard, and the lighting of the tree, to name a few of the many things you can enjoy there. Show up, and you'll get to sing along with the Crabpot Tree Carol, a cheerful rewriting of Jingle Bells about fishermen bringing home a bountiful catch of crab to celebrate around the crabpot tree. The event starts at 4, tree lighting at 5. If you can't be there, checkout a live broadcast of the event on the "Discover Ilwaco" Facebook page.

You might say Eryn Domeyer and her husband got “hooked” on fishing originally as a hobby, then as a sport, before it became a business for them. After getting married, they moved back to the Pacific Northwest and were invited by friends to do some Albacore tuna fishing. They loved the excitement. Soon, they were keeping score with their friends in how many fish they could catch and even entered some fishing tournaments. Because they were good fishers, they had more catch than they could eat, so started giving it away to friends and family. After they had been told their fish was the best their friends had ever tasted, the entrepreneurial question popped up: “Would people actually PAY for our fish?”. So in 2014 they began fishing and selling Albacore, halibut and salmon out of Ilwaco, Washington. The trio offering is what spawned the name Tre-Fin; three kinds of fish. Then in 2019 they expanded their harvest to ling cod, rock fish, petrale and more. Commercial fishing for salmon did not work for them after awhile and the company switched to sablefish as a replacement. The company has an official designation as a Community Supported Fishery, CSF, making their fish on your dinner plate a hyper-local event. It works like this: Customers sign up as members of the CSF and pre-order and pre-pay for a certain amount of fish, usually in five or ten-pound boxes. This gives the fishers not only a goal of fish to catch so they don't over-fish, it also gives the company and employees financial security for their season. Then from July through October, the Tre-Fin crew goes out on one boat, in and out each day. They line fish, meaning they only use a pole and catch one fish at a time. Each catch is brought into the boat using a gentle net, not a piercing gaff. Each fish is handled by a person, not a machine, and each is hand-cut, fresh frozen and sealed for the freshest meal possible. The boxes of fish delivered are of the same weight but not always the same number of cuts, or loins as they are called. Since no two fish are alike and since they are custom cut, they loins vary a bit in size and shape, but that is the hand touch, authenticity and specialness that customers are looking for from Tre-Fin. Members can order one kind of fish or an assortment and there are multiple pickup locations in Oregon and Washington during certain days and times to get their fish. Home deliveries also are possible. The stability of a CSF also allows Tre-Fin to deliver quality fish at a slightly lower price than other markets. The creed of Tre-Fin's founders is simple: Sustainable fishing. They only catch the number of fish that have been ordered, they only fish for healthy stocks and they only fish their local waters. This is a very powerful concept that provides conscientious consumers with a mechanism to enjoy eating fish harvested in a responsible manner. Website: https://trefinfoods.com/.

This is a special episode. Today we celebrate Valentine's Day with an intimate evening with the Nesbitts. Melissa Nesbitt makes her much-anticipated return to Ramble by the River, and she brought with her a Valentine's Day couples quiz, an old Highschool yearbook, and a bottle of wine. Jeff and Melissa take their time going through the couple's quiz and discussing the answers. The audience will enjoy a peek behind the curtain as Jeff is able to let down his guard and truly have a fun and relaxing time as the host. They have a lot of laughs, talk about a ton of important issues in the world today, and only brag about their kids a little bit. There is a lot of local shout outs in this episode, so if you hear us talk about you, say hi back! Thank you to my wife Melissa, not only for being the guest this week, but for supporting me while I make this podcast week-after-week. In fact, as I type this, she is inside wrangling kids and keep everything in order, as she does. Have a happy Valentine's Day everybody. ......................................................................................................................

In this outrageous 50th episode, four-time State Champion barrel racer, Ned Bittner stops by the crab-shed to shoot the breeze with Jeff about coaching, fatherhood, and the challenges we face in the world today. Ned reveals some of his close-held opinions about raising kids, and he spills the beans on his hidden horse-related past. Don't miss it! Geoff Hylton, long-time friend of the show, makes a special guest appearance during the introduction and he tells a story about a time he was sexually assaulted by an elderly woman in public. It really makes you think. I laughed a lot while editing this one, and that doesn't mean everyone will love it, but it is usually a good sign. You might not be able to tell, but I was a bit nervous in the beginning and started to relax as we went along. It can be stressful meeting your role models under new circumstances. But I think we pulled it off. Big thank you to Ned Bittner for being my guest and to Geoff Hylton for helping me with the intro. I love both of these guys and I had a blast making this podcast with them. I hope you enjoy.

Leadosophy interviews LT Jessica Shafer, Commanding Officer of U.S. Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, WA. In part two of this interview, Jess discusses her experiences as a military woman in leadership, her title as the "First Female Commanding Officer of Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment" and how she feels about that, and her experiences responding to Hurricane's Katrina, Urma, and Maria. She provides candid leadership analysis and her stories from hurricane response in Puerto Rico are inspiring to say the least. She also reflects on a couple of her Coast Guard mentors from Fort Lauderdale who were and still serve as great mentors in her Coast Guard career. In this interview, Jess's views, ideas, and opinions on life and leadership are her own and are not supported nor endorsed by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Leadosophy interviews LT Jessica Shafer, Commanding Officer of U.S. Coast Guard Station Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, WA. In part one of this two-part interview, Jess discusses how her college experiences and general life experiences shaped her views on leadership. Jess discusses the followership and leadership impacts of her cultural anthropology background, her time living in London and working in London at the Queen's art gallery, her time traveling abroad in Europe, and her experiences rowing crew for Purdue University. She also discusses the importance of followership and how we tend to undervalue followership in favor of overvaluing leadership. She provides keen insight into the world of Coast Guard search and rescue and the planning, training, and command and control functions that are so important to mission execution. In this interview, Jess's views, ideas, and opinions on life and leadership are her own and are not supported nor endorsed by the U.S. Coast Guard. A ton of leadership nuggets here: Check it out!

In this episode of Leadosophy OTR, Tim discusses the first two months of Leadosophy shows and comes to the conclusion that they might be too theoretical with not enough practical application. Is he right, or do we like the academic side of leadership? Leadosophy thinks a balance is necessary: easier said than done. Also, he gets some leadership advice from his significant other, Jess. She's a Lieutenant in the US Coast Guard and the Commanding Officer of a Search and Rescue Unit in Ilwaco, WA. Leadosophy On The Road humbly tries to capture the essence of philosophical and leadership thoughts away from mission control, e.g., the Leadosophy Bunker. Sometimes Leadosophy, and Tim by proxy, like to travel. Leadership conundrums don't stop simply stop emerging when Tim's away from his home base. We can try to gain a deeper appreciation of leadership anywhere on Planet Earth, and, one day, maybe beyond Planet Earth.

Scott Pisapia is good people. What a wonderful life of opportunity I'm given to be able to chat with a near stranger and bridge a connection that would be out of reach if not for a podcast. Life and her lemons. Scott inspires me to think bigger than myself, but not too big yet. To me, the pacific northwest community is rife with opportunity and potential handshakes, handholds, and hand-ups. You can't miss the shots you don't take. Go make your dream.
