Two Darrell Kirk Paddling Videos of Everett's Waterways - Trip 21

My neighbor and student Darrell Kirk does amazing videos of his explorations around Puget Sound and the West Coast.  From the Saltine Sea to Ebey's Slough, here's two exploring the Everett, Wa waterfront.

Trip 22 - 

Ship Graveyard.  Many of these ships date to the 19th century and line the Snohomish River mouth in  to Puget Sound.

Adventure on Ebey & Steamboat Slough. Note to check tides here to avoid being caught high and dry in mud on lower tides.

SUP Trip to Hat (Gedney Island) with Darrell Kirk

My student Darrell Kirk gets around and he creates fun mini documentaries of his SUP explorations.
Here, Darrell explores Hat (Gedney Island) off Everett and SE Whidbey Island.  I believe he got a boat trip back to the mainland from one of the island residents.

Explore middle Hood Canal - Paddle Trip #23

Dosewallips St Park, high tide (empties at low).
Warm water in summer, bucolic backwater views and great paddling best describe this section of Hood Canal.  North of Hoodsport stretching to Quilcene, this curvy section of Highway 101 has many campgrounds, B&Bs, tucked away marinas, and oyster farms.
