Kayaking The Puget Sound: Seattle To Bainbridge (21 Miles)

[@N3ur0m4nc3r]

Cool video. Fun Fact. Most old wooden pillings are soaked in harsh chemicals to keep them from rotting in the tidal waters. Eating the occasional berry is fine but not great as the fruit will absorb chemical compounds from the pile as the wood breaks down.

Damn dude I thought you would be camping there, when I saw the sun going down, the last thing I expected was for you to paddle back 😨 that looks extremely sketchy lol

Thanks for sharing this, and also for putting updated safety info in the description. I live in western Montana and there are plenty of smaller lakes to explore, but there are also reservoirs that are tens of miles long, as well as Flathead Lake (which gets its own wind and wave forecasts; it's the same size as Lake Tahoe); I hope eventually to take big trips like this (with the appropriate gear you mention in the description, of course).

You took an incredibly dangerous act and turned it into a really fantastic public service message. Kudos to you for leaving the video up with the really great expanded description. You obviously risked your life doing what you did, but you may well save lives when other inexperienced and ill -equipped kayakers who are considering doing something like this see this video and read the description. I don’t fault you for doing it, though; I think it’s a problem with the sport that people new to it just don’t appreciate the dangers involved, and this video will be a sort of magnet to warn them.

What kind of kayak is this? It does good in the sound. I would like to pull one behind my 20 foot sailboat

The Ballard draw bridge was built in 1917

Hey as a Seattle native good job, next time start north more.

[@georgerosca]

how long did it take? also, would a sit on top kayak work as well?

[@andrewdavidson4421]

make sure you read my new, updated description before attempting this

It’s great that you amended your video with appropriate warnings. As someone who lives on Bainbridge, one only has to take a ferry ride to appreciate how powerful the waves and currents can be. So glad you made it safely. As a newbie kayaker, my trips will be along the shore and with all the appropriate gear, spray skirt an essential. Stay safe.

@@draw1951 Sounds great! I hope you have since had many fun trips. :)
