On November 7, 1805 William Clark wrote "Great joy in camp, we are in view of the ocean, this great Pacific Ocean which we have been so long anxious to see. The roaring or noise made by the waves breaking on the rocky shores (as I suppose) may be heard distinctly."
However, it was not the ocean they were looking at, but the Columbia River estuary. The day was rainy and foggy, the estuary was four or five miles wide, they could not see the Oregon side of the river or Point Adams at the mouth of the river in the distance throught the fog. But they were close enough :)
