William Clark, of the explorer duo Lewis and Clark, thought that they had reached their goal, the Pacific Ocean, on November 7, 1805. He wrote in his journal "Ocian in view! O! the Joy!" (misspelled).
But he soon learned that what he saw was not the Pacific: it was the wide estuary of the Columbia River, some 20 miles from the ocean itself. Storms then kept them from making it to the actual shore for almost 3 weeks. The failure of any relief ships to arrive meant they spent the winter of 1805-1806 there, near what is now Astoria, Oregon.

Did Lewis or Clark say ocean in view oh the joy?
{previous responder said, "Yes"]} .. This replay is a very vague answer because both William Clark and Meriweather Lewis were on the Voyage of Discovery, along with 31 other people. So WHOM said this?ACTUALLY no one SAID it. William Clark wrote later in his Journal entry, "Ocian in view! O! the joy,".However, he did not actually 'see' the Pacific Ocean. The cliff-side view he looked upon was looking over an estuary some 20 miles east yet, of the Pacific Ocean.
