Living on a Sailboat in the Pacific NorthWest

[@slowbikindude]

I slowed down your jump, Sierra, and the expression on your face when you hit the water is priceless!

[@arondavis2176]

Pumpty Dumpty !! Whale skin boats ???? Crazy !!

[@brunsonr]

I absolutely love the San Juan Islands. A good friend and I did a bike tour about 35 years ago starting in Seattle and island hoped the SJ's before heading to the Olympic Peninsula then south to San Francisco. The San Juan islands are one of the most magical places on this planet. Thanks for bringing the fond memories back. Sail on!

[@OnkelDude]

Our group of 6 chartered MokiMak two summers ago from the swell people at San Juan Sailing. She was a sweet boat (Seawind 1160).If I only remember one thing from the the briefing, "don't eat cherry pits." We trapped our limit of crabs, got boarded by the Coast Guard and cleared in Victoria...did it all. OP recommended the sculpture garden at Roche; I agree. I hope I make it back to the San Juans someday.

[@kathytegreene1562]

Thanks for your video. I am from Washington. It makes me homesick. Beautiful job.

[@scottseaman6247]

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻

[@fishbustin7926]

In the 1980’s I played music as a one man band in Friday Harbor at a restaurant called “The Wild Hare” Very nice place.

[@BoatingJourney]

Our backyard! We love Spencer Spit! Now that we've moved to Florida, we really appreciate this video!! Thanks guys, for another great episode. The PNW is one of the most beautiful places on earth!

[@ryanh4889]

Great episode! Glad you enjoyed my home island. We love living in Friday Harbor and boating around the San Juan islands and Canadian gulf islands.

[@PrecisionSailLoftVictoria]

This is a great series showcasing our sailing grounds! (Just south of us) Thank you for sharing this area with the rest of the sailing world!

[@micjailchavezmorejon3140]

You and Parlay are best youtube channel ever🙏⛵✌️👍🙌

[@rickharris5485]

My two favorites, too.

[@christophermannmanno6318]

Wow you have a great blessed life. Thanks for sharing part of it ✌

[@koehl405]

Hi from Florida, Be safe, thanks.

[@ChasB2010]

So nice to see you enjoying my home cruising grounds for the past 38 years. After a 20+ year USN career all over the world, we settled in the PNW and have cruised Puget Sound to the Broughtons (pwr & sail). Love your videos which bring back so many wonderful memories. BTW, I grew up sailing out of Quissett Harbor on Buzzards Bay just a nice sail from Wareham.

[@gbsailing9436]

Oh I wanted to see how quickly you got back out of the water Sierrra…LOL

[@waynefederico9396]

We go boating on the ICW here in SC. isn't it funny how the dogs love being up on the bow , we get a lot of looks when all 4 dogs are on point.

[@MrEvarias]

score ... san juan islands is fascinating. you two are so cool.

[@emhaley]

Really great blog of your trip and spot on editing and music. Nice job! You guys have a great vibe as always! About to head to the Smokey mountains ⛰ with my son and this dropped with perfect timing! Keep going!!

[@chefevilee9566]

Gosh I tell you I love the Pacific Northwest. I had a chance to go to Seattle and outside of Mount Rainier in May. It was a amazing trip. I just love the place.

[@sirlandsalot]

Oh my goodness, your in my part of the world!

[@hectorcyre7664]

So glad you enjoyed the San Juan Islands. Welcome to our little patch of paradise. Local hint - don't bother looking for orcas (killer whales) as you are cruising. Instead look for whale watch boats. They will be where the orcas are or will be heading there. The whale watch boats are a lot bigger and easier to spot than the whales themselves are. Besides, the boats don't submerge (hopefully) like the whales do. Just look for the whale watch boats as you cruise through the islands and/or follow them to the whales. The whale watch boats actually share orca sightings among the skippers so their clients have the highest probability of seeing the whales.

[@haroldconnell2973]

Stunning scenery

[@bobbates6642]

Very please to see that you two seem just as happy or more happy now that you are married. Lots of adventures ahead and lots of good video's .

[@PB-fo6dq]

Recognized the Lime Kiln Light as you traversed the west side of San Juan Isl. Beautiful spot! Love to visit Friday Harbor... best Halibut Fish & Chips I've ever tasted right there at the Cask and Schooner :-)

[@TheAtma50]

Is there any man in the whole world that hasn't pulled a face like Billy just did when Sierra suggested jumping in the water ? Stay Safe & Fair Winds !!

[@landonburke1896]

The sunshine’s EVERYDAY in the Pacific Northwest! Just not all day long 😄

[@micjailchavezmorejon3140]

Jjeeeeyyyyy 😉👍😘🙌✌️bravooo,, thanksss guys for a new episodio,,🌬️⛵👍⛵✌️🙏

[@mikemcdaniel7675]

Love your videos! Especially love the San Juan’s! 🤙

[@m.aviator99]

Thumbs up, love the content. Keep it coming!

[@mikemcdaniel7675]

I think Jetty wanted a plate of that yummy looking breakfast!

[@tompurvis1261]

I spent several summers on this island as a kid.

[@MTravelVlog]

I really enjoyed your video. 👌🏼 Great channel. 🤝⭐️ Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼 🇦🇱

[@teresaholland2300]

Hello, we enjoyed your Friday Harbor coverage. We are going there on our Royal Cape catamaran the first week in May. How was the Spencer's Spit anchorage? Where is the best anchor spot? We need another stop between Friday Harbor and Squalicum harbor in Bellingham. Thanks for any info on Spencer's spit. We enjoy your videos! Where are you going from the San Juans?

[@chasepuzon6893]

Keep up the good work on the great videos

[@fxpthl]

The San Juan Islands are indeed beautiful! However, in a whale watching excursion a few years ago, we noticed almost into Canadian waters before sighting a large pod of Orcas. It was truly worth the trip because our guide recognized the members because they make that are their yearlong home. How are you enjoying this beautiful cat? Is it all that you hoped for? Finally, I’m looking forward to watching your upcoming Trawler adventures!

[@southwestsider]

Ahhhh… Thanks for the cruise. So many memories in & on the Islands!! But only kayaked. You two get the Real Deal Sailing😍 You where in Whale Country for sure….✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️

[@markhottman2652]

Billy and Sierra I hope you two can fall in love with each other , more and more every day. Grace to you.

[@53Peterbilt]

you DO realize that they got married...right?? Yeah, I'd say that they 're in love. 😊

[@bdmenne]

@@53Peterbilt deepening love is the intent. Marriage is just the beginning surface level plunge.

[@RiverWoods111]

Ah, I use to swim in the Peugeot sound as a kid! I also used to swim in Lake Tahoe at 4800 altitudes.

[@sherried.3861]

You really missed out on a charming spot by not going in to Roche Harbor. Back across the road behind the hotel is a very nice sculpture park. The restaurant at the hotel is good too! But glad you enjoyed your time in our neck of the woods. We’ve made some really amazing memories cruising the San Juan’s. Everything from being buzzed by Homeland Security 😂 to having a pod of whales decide to come in to the area right outside the corner buoy marking the big rock outside Roche and dive under and around our boat for an hour or so. So much crazy fun!

[@galerozell3209]

I tried swimming in those waters once, it didn’t last long. Thanks for letting ride along.

[@Spoon279]

I'm definitely in camp Billie when it comes to easing into the morning.

[@Tasha_Russia]

Вы отличные ребята. Очень люблю ваши видео. Спасибо и привет из России.

[@plainswanderer3043]

At 7:27 that's a Heermann's Gull immature, at 8:33 that's a flock of Common Murre. I love the west coast but it sure is cold. I'm sure you will see some Orca's.

[@emoryodell3247]

When are y'all planning on a live event

[@kryskay989]

Ah man you guys are making me miss the PNW!!! We moved to the mid-west last year but we're already making plans to move back to the PNW LOL

[@quarlow1215]

HOLY CRAP GIRL, even women get shrinky dink in these waters at that time of year lol. So glad you guys are enjoying our neck of the woods. If you thought that flood tide was cool you should see a few of the spots up here on the Canadian side. The rapids create whirlpools that would suck your boat into. You literally have to wait for slack water before going through these narrows. So you will hang out waiting and a pile other boats and tugs with log booms are all waiting too. Then at slack everybody runs through before in starts to flow again.

[@tomdrummy4984]

Jetty looks like an old salt walking around the boat…….very comfy 😊

[@johnnylightning1491]

Bummer, no Orcas yet, but there's still time, at least in youtube time. If you catch lots of crabs will you invite all of your subs to a crab bake? Please? Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@-TruthHurts]

around the Portuguese and Spanish coast there have been many reports recently of Orcas attacking boats, chewing off the rudders....

[@vanseventy]

Are ya missing the warm waters of Florida yet?

[@lisagoathead7799]

we have a boat in everett marina and have been watching you guys since the beginning of your journey. We would love to meet you if youre going to be in the northwest for a while. The is;lands are beautiful. if you get a chace to go to laconner i highly recommend it

[@amydeutl]

Beautiful!!! And what was the water temp?

[@richardmerrill4036]

I noticed more life jacket wearing? Is it a requirement of the charter co, or because the cold water?

[@stevelong7303]

Come on down to Edmonds,WA.

[@stevebaker4728]

As a British outpost, British Camp on San Juan Island was well supplied from Vancouver Island a few miles away. The Americans had to rely on slim pickings from the west coast. The final division of the island came after the Pig War of 1859 when the US and Britain almost went to war over a pig belonging to the British was killed by an American settler on San Juan Island.

[@TheIsraelMossad]

Where is your boat and when is it being delivered

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

I am a little mixed up. I thought you guys were adventuring in a van, now. You did a makeover on it.

[@bryce340v8]

A few weeks ago they switched to this sailboat. I was under the impression that they were captioning sailboat trips, but I don't recall any further discussion on the boat use arrangements with the owner.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

@@bryce340v8 Thank you so much for explaining this. :)

[@andrewjackson8446]

How do deal with dogs both while sailing and on a boat in general? That's something holding me back from going blue water, though my dogs (2 of them) are larger.

[@Starkraven100]

There was a shot fired ...and war was declared. There was a casualty, a Pig. Hence the Pig War causing San Juan Island to be occupied by the English and American Forces. When politicians were involved it became tense. However the military forces involved did not get tense and military commanders on both sides felt it was unseemly to get in a fight over a dead pig. Cooler heads prevailed.

[@thomaswbennett4857]

Just to make sure, when you mentioned that american camp was unfunded, did you notice the years of the conflict? Perhaps there was another priority around 1860? Also, the reputation of the PNW is that it rains a lot. Maybe 25 miles SW of American Camp is officially a desert (less than 20" of rain per year). It is also home to some crabs you may have heard of where the Dungeness river enters the Straits.

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

Yeah! Thank you for another amazing episode. Yes, I am guilty as well. I have lowered the dinghy, started driving off and realized the plug not in LOL luckily Highfield makes a pretty good dinghy. #FloatingMatters hahahaha!!!!! 🤙🏼🍻 Until next week, stay off your face. That seems to be working really well for me LOL 💯🎯 🍺

[@pammager7135]

Haven't seen you both for awhile. Wondering when you'll be back in a warmer climate?

[@TheMorganMonroeShow]

Perfect timing. This comment was for the algorithm. The next comment will be about the video. See you then!

[@dustinbranton]

Is this the boat you were having built?

[@micjailchavezmorejon3140]

jump into the water?splash. "aaaaaa"😅😅😅👌✌️👍🙌

[@papamarkw]

Record number of Orcas spotted in the Salish Sea. SEATTLE - At least 72 Bigg's killer whales were spotted on Thursday throughout the Salish Sea between Western Washington and Victoria, BC, setting a single-day record, according to the Pacific Whale Watch Association

For a slightly more accurate history of the English camp, look up the pig war😂

[@tkine97]

Please put a life jacket on your dog. He seems to be out of the cabin without humans at times. GIve him a chance if he slips into the water.
