Boating the Labyrinth of Puget Sound Backwaters, Part I [Ep. 09 - 2022]

After touring my home port of Olympia WA, I set sail for the lesser known waters of the Sound. Areas that are skipped by most cruisers. The trail less travelled. I find some very pleasant 'lake-like' sailing, and calm waters. Anchorages are good (Eld Inlet), and bad (Hope Island). This is part 1 of my explorations of South Puget Sound.

Thank you so much! After watching the news, I stumbled on your relaxing video. My husband and I bought a boat in the northwest two years ago, and we are always looking for hidden adventures!

That was a cool tour of My backyard - Eld inlet!

[@JasonReitsch]

Not a bad tour of my playground! Had to LOL at "nobody goes down Eld Inlet." You did miss Steamboat Annie's, one of Oly's best waterfront restaurants, when you mentioned Boston Harbor. Also "Geoduck" is pronounced like "gooey-duck" not "geo-duck."

I had to laugh when I heard gee oh duck. Who in Puget Sound says that?! 😂🤦‍♂️

@@RustyKnorr and I studied "gooey-graphy" !

Lingcod 29... sweet.

They are called, “goo-ee-duk”.

Love your vids wish there were more of them. Would love some more “daily living aboard a small yacht vids. Cooking sleeping provisioning etc. In large part because the S28 is on my VERY short list of boats I’m considering buying. Anyway great choice of boat (and cruising grounds). I’ll keep watching so long as you keep posting 🙂. Fair winds !

I've been more of a "trip report" channel. Boat projects have taken my time for the last 2 yrs. I'm getting close to shoving off for good thoe, vids will definitely be picking up then. Thanks for watching!

@@WaterTrails well I for one cannot wait. You do a great job and the Shannon 28 is a true little blue water ship yet small enough to do some creek and inlet crawling like you’ve been doing. Cheers 🍻

Cool beans. I dig how you explain a little about where you are in each place. I heard you say May in this video and now it's August. I wonder how far along you are now.
