After merging with the Snake River and nearing the ocean the Columbia becomes a lot busier. We now have to hug the shoreline a lot more to avoid big barges chugging along, and since leaving the arid areas and coming into the famous Columbia canyon wind sports abound. Lots and lots and LOTS of fishing too. We've even seen a huge sturgeon (but sadly dead and floating in a huge fishing net).
