Sailing the Puget Sound, Vashon Island, adventures of us

We sail from Port Orchard Washington around the Eastside of Vashon and Maury Island down to the Tacoma Narrows, stay the night in Gig Harbor and go back up the westside of Vashon Island back to Port Orchard. Sailing the 1974 Newport 27 Sloop called daily reprieve.

I absolutely loved that video, back a lot of good memories

Hi from New Orleans but raised and born in Washington

[@graham974]

Looks like an awesome trip. You have one of the best places to sail right in your backyard. I live in Portland and I'm hoping to do some sailing on the Columbia River. Looking forward to more of your videos!

I plan on moving my boat to Port Orchard here soon. Right now I’m at Brown’s Point but I don’t like it there, the Port Orchard Marina is so much nicer, plus I grew up in Port Orchard so it will be like going home. Tacoma sucks!

[@emarillyreal]

Loved the video too just gives me something to think about! 😅

[@cascadesouthernmodeltrains7547]

When you showed the views of Olalla, I was able to see my old house where I grew up. I lived about a mile from Al’s and used to play in that lagoon all the time. This was an awesome sail! Thank you for sharing.

Hey nice job on the video, looks like you guys had a blast. I've got a sailboat in Port Orchard also. (Baba 40) but I'm around the corner further back in the bay at Suldans. Fair winds to you guys.

That's cool, I've seen your boat out sailing. My employee Kevin has the Newport across the dock from you. You know, the libtard? 🤣🤣 He speaks highly of you and you're ⛵!

[@ExileCinema]

@@aaronhilliard5327 haaaa the libtard... Yep yep i know Kevin. Small world. We'll have to get these boats out and run em one of these days.

[@lovestojuggle]

@@ExileCinema yes! I hope we can before you sail south!

[@aaronhilliard5327]

Definitely!

[@brewhaus1749]

did you even put a sail up?

[@aaronhilliard5327]

Yes, we sailed from Kingston to the Tacoma narrows bridge.

Your lady friend was trying to kill both of you 😅

[@aaronhilliard5327]

😂😂

[@emarillyreal]

I’m 33 and trying to get my certification in the next few months. Something you would suggest?

[@77jesseday]

Running up that hill before Stranger Things brought it back!!!

[@donhollinger7143]

You could cut, or at least turn down, the music. That’s not why we watch.

[@aaronskiles87]

Is the current always going North on the passage west of Vashon?

[@aaronhilliard5327]

That's what I was told by an experienced sailor, and that was my experience as well. But then again we were heading north on the west side of a Vashon as the tide was heading out. But he has been tailing the Puget Sound for a long time and told me to always go south on the east side of Vashon and north on the west side.

[@aaronskiles87]

aaron hilliard cool. Thanks

Sailboats don’t allways have the right of way…..the ship can claim confined waters,constricted ability to maneuver,….. pirate flag says a lot……

[@heavyglassglass]

I don't think you have ill intent but I don't like when people fly a pirate flag. I can't have respect for a pirate

[@StevesOldBoat]

Real pirates don’t fly the flag

[@christinep6400]

real pirates go out sailing, not trolling the internet talking shit
