I've been watching the channel for a few years now and I have to say that it makes me very happy to see how much of a positive impact this whole deal has had on Sierra's confidence level. She used to be so very camera shy and slowly over the years has totally come out of her shell (pun intended.) I can only imagine that the growth of the channel and seeing how much it impacts people has positively changed the way she feels about herself 'off camera' too. All of this to say - Billy... Good job! You started this thing and I bet it took a lot if patience and understanding to coax Sierra into playing a more inclusive role in the videos. You're a good person (and a great husband) for that reason and the two of you deserve every good thing that's happening to you. Congrats.
I’ve been subscribed for awhile but just started watching your You Tube channel recently. I’m a 70 yr old married (wife born on Key Biscayne) guy born in Miami. So we’re both old salts! Got the skin cancer to prove it! It swells my heart watching your videos! Watching two young people who care so much about life. It’s so refreshing to see that you honestly care about other people, land, animals and the life around you! Love your videos!
And by the way - make sure the 1160 or 1260 has A/C and heat! You’ll be glad you have it when you expand your family!
welcome to my world... i live in Sequim Wa and Love the Crab fresh fish and clean living..of the PNW
The San Juan islands are my backyard hope you guys enjoyed it!
I have spent many years sailing in the San Juan‘s. I have even dove for crabs at Spencer spit. A little tip on cooking crabs as while they’re still alive pull their back off, clean them, break them in half and then cook them. it takes less time and less water. Dungeness in my opinion is the best. Love your videos.
To clean before cooking,, grab legs from behind, smash bottom side down against bucket edge, top will come off, shake out guts from leg halves overboard, keep tops until you get back to dock in case you need to prove catch sizes. Best if re-chlled and eaten cold. (IMO)
Agree, also steaming them takes a lot less fuel than boiling a pot of water
Glad you love the San Juan's. I love them too. I grew up in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest and have spent many summers sailing the San Juan's. I wish you could've sailed them in the 50's. Keep sailing. I hope someday you will sail to the South Pacific
Loved the underwater crab video………and Sierra’s smiling face. 😁
idk why this popped up in my recs but glad to see you're doing my home justice
The camera in the trap was epic especially the choice of music while you showed that bit. Very cool - can’t wait to see what is next for you both!
- Yeah other than the cooking that was my favorite part !!
Well guys it looks like your adventure in the PNW (that's Pacific North West for the acronym challenged like me) is coming to an end, but I guess that means that your just that much closer to your new boat. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
How wonderful you got to experience the PNW and the San Juan Islands. When I sailed on the Schooner Adventures, all the students had to jump in and tread water for 10 minutes so they would know what to expect if they fell off the ship into that chilly water. No warm shower after... :)
PNW Life!! So happy you guys enjoyed your first catch and cook.
Agree with others, San Juans is amazing. I hope to take my Catalina 16.5 for some beach sail camping adventures this summer. Come back and sail here more often , we love your videos.
So cool seeing you guys exploring my former cruising grounds. Meanwhile, I’m at anchor at Calabash Bay, Long Island in the Bahamas.
Loved this series of video's in the San Juan Islands. Nice Job guys.
Nice catch to end your great trip on.
Can’t wait to see what your next adventure is going to be!!
Fair winds ⛵️
When you get your new boat, spend a season cruising Alaska, BC and Washington. It is a beautiful place to spend a summer. Delos has cruised BC as has RAN and Emerald Steel. Alfie at Life is Like Sailing has sailed BC extensively.
San Juan's are beautiful , if you ever get a chance to go to Desolation Sound that's the best cruising ground in this area and although its North of the San Juans it is the warmest water North of Cabo Mexico. Its the jewel of Canadian cruising. Loved this mini series by the way :)
Thanks for sharing guys!! I really enjoyed seeing you catch the crabs and then eating them. They're SO delicious!!
You both lead such interesting lives. Can't wait for you to get back to sailing in the warmer climate areas.
We used frozen fish heads that we attached by wire inside of crab pods. jeans start smelling after a day of crabbing nylon works better or a rubberized suit. Beautiful area you two are living the life! Thanks for sharing!
Something the west coast has better than the east coast is Dungeous Crab!!! Once you have Dungeous it is hard to eat other crab. Glad you guys had fun!
That was absolutely amazingly fun. Thank you for the post. It was awesome. It was so awesome it was actually #OfTheEpic 🤙🏼💯🍻🎯
I've watched you sailing the East Coast and the Bahamas, all familiar territory to me from a boating standpoint. I did a bicycle tour in the San Juans back in the 90s, such a very different environment! Cold water, rocks everywhere, beautiful scenery. I love riding the ferries up there! But I was never in a smaller boat. Fresh crab, yum!
I love that area. The little anchorage at Friday harbor is one of my favorites.
Love the San Juan’s! Can be very crowded in the summer. Thank you for the video 🐬🐬🐬
Red rock seem to be more work for less meat compared to the Dungeness, but it's all fun.
Absolutely GORGEOUS
Thank you for this video. I am sailing in this area to the west side of Vancoucer Island n September and can't wait.
Just a tip, after measuring, give the middle leg a quick squeeze near the carapace to make sure it isn't soft shell🙈 it's awful to see a crab killed and not even full of meat😬
Lmao when you jumped in. We swam in the summer and that was cold enough. I fell in the Fraser river in front of my place in February and mofo, that was absolutely frigid. If you guys come back you have to have a oyster cook on a beach fire. You get the oysters at low tide and then set them around the edge of the fire till they pop open. Then butter and salt, damn, my mouths watering Lol.
The underwater crab pot video is awesome! Perfect music! We love Spencer Spit
I live just south of Mt. Baker. About 35 minutes away from Anacortes. I get to enjoy that area all the time and yes, It is beautiful. Check out Rhodes River Ranch for some supper great food and a very cool environment around horses. Also check out La Conner Pub & Eatery for some of the best fish and chips in the area and it's right on the water.
Love the views of Mt. Baker! Sounds like you got primo weather in my old stomping grounds.
Awesome video
Love your show
Great video of the crabs
Made me hungry! Use to go crabbing in Tampa Bay a lot for Blue Crabs during the full moon!!! Awesome!
My all time favorite cruising ground would be 1.Baja, up in the sea ofCortez. 2.Panama westcoast, pearles and Secas islands. 3.Panama east coast, san blasislands. 4.Marshall islands.and 5.bahamas, Exumas and 6 really enjoy doing the Intracoastal waterway,especially the Carolinas!
Love your video’s
YUMMMMM!!!! Dungees!!!!
What a feast!
When you add vinegar to the water
Acetic acid breaks down proteins It also helps soften the shell of the crab.
The acid in vinegar also helps bring out the flavor in other ingredients.
Whenever you're cooking something and you know you've added herbs, spices, ect and you're still lacking flavor your dish is missing acid like that in vinegar, lemons, or wine.
"Look what I can do!" 02:12 It just made me think of Stewart from MadTV
Great video, and that mountain with a snowcap looks so nice - exotic of us 😁 Doesn’t look like those crabs would keep you alive for long - you need as much chicken to get them and all the equipment. But I’m sure it tastes so much better 🦀 Greetings from Seychelles 🇸🇨 👋
You guys just HAVE to come back in the summer !
So chicken is great, fish heads are awesome, but try canned cat or dog food. It stores forever, they come in cans and the crab can’t actually get into the bait so it lasts a long time and it’s very oily so the scent travels very well. Just poke holes on top of the can and put into the bait bag.
You’re welcome 👌🏼
I totally agree with this! I've also used canned tuna (cheaper), but make sure you get 'packed in water' type. The oil type just sends the flavor upwards as the oil floats in water and doesn't attract as well. One can lasts all weekend in the water.
@@deanforbes2027 good point on the water canned tuna! 👍🏼
U guys should come back in may june and july, the weather is beautiful in the summer. And if u park ur boat in anacortes u can drive to baker lake in about an hour, which is my favorite place in washington.
The mooring bouys in Eagle Harbor are placed by the DNR and are free in an effort to repopulate ell grass in the harbor. There are a number of trails shoreside.
Hope all is good. 🤙🏼
I have to admit, you both look more comfortable on boats! I’m glad you’re back on the water might be the reason though.....
Gosh going fishing for crabs 🦀 is way technical up your way.
Down under we use a tin of dog food when you run out of chicken. By placing holes all over the tin and there you go!!
Great idea placing the go-pro in the crab 🦀 pot! Definitely cold water crabs 🦀 Yumi 😋
Haven’t checked in with you guys in a while. Awesome video. Billly, not quite like spreading the blue claws across the table over newsday.
FYI they make a spring loaded line clip with a 1-2 ounce lead weight that you place on you line right when you feel the trap touch bottom. this keep the line under water at the float right over the trap (and out of any propellers)
Love your channel
We keep meaning to ask - how does Jetty potty on the boat
Spencer spit was the first stop on Friday night we would pull in drop pots than anchor. Fresh crab on Saturday morning.
Hey brother how’s about killing crab first have a great dinner
Ahhh I sail around the area year around. It is amazing but can be CRAZY
you are more at home on he SeaWind.. Loved the crab pot video clip.... So that is what goes on down thee...
Can’t wait to climb aboard our charter with San Juan Charters in July. Seahorse 52 👍
Hi from Florida. Thanks.
I grew up doing exactly what you’re doing in this video. Love to see you enjoying the PNW!
Can't remember having red rock crab, but totally love Dungeness ‼️‼️🦀
Salmon fishing is the best!
Nice video. How did you like the Diesel engines. Seems like they were relatively quite and efficient.
easier way to clean and cook is pull the male designator "tab" up and back like a pull tab, then you can grab and lift the entire top plate off separating the two leg sections with the lungs attached. Hold the bunch of legs like a hammer and swing down hard over the water. (do this entire process off your swim platform) The lungs will for the most part fly off. Throw all the guts into the water. The cleaned legs cook so much better, and you avoid all of the mustard, lungs and crap on your dinner table.
Hey you guys love the content! You guys should check out alaska
Underwater go pro footage were great. Thoroughly enjoyed vlog. Perhaps u mentioned … what is name of mountain range u were admiring? Would love a close map of your locations. 🇨🇦
Please use leaded line on your crab traps, that yellow stuff is floating line.
From the movie, Joe -vs- the Volcano, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, concerning Dungeness crabs, they are little monsters, but they are delicious little monsters! When you sort out the shakers, then place the trap back in the same spot, you are going to recatch all those shakers.
I fell in the Pudget sound once. It was August and 39 degrees. It was brutal.
I love your wave neckless♥️ Where did you get it? I am from Monterey CA and live in Arizona now, but the ocean will always be in my soul🌄
Hi! Our friend makes jewelry and has her own online store :) where watermelons grow 🙃thanks for asking!!
Come back May through September sometime, it's unbelievable.
You should only you sinking line the yellow one on your pot is floating line and it will get caught in a propellers easier
👍
What time of the year is this?
Seiara an Billy love ya guys your amazing ❤️❤️an jetty so cute. Congrats on wedding
Just saw Facebook post - is that a DeFever project boat you bought? Great Googily Moogily!
I would have jumped in there with you Sierra! You Just have to rescue me!
Crab cam!
Nice, inspiring vid! I love Jetty so much❤️🐾❤️. By the way, those crabs 🦀 were still alive when you cooked them..🤔
Old bay is not necessary. Dungeness crab, water, sea salt only. Than you add the butter and lemon to dip in or eat plain.
Jenny looks very comfortable on this cat.
niceee blue Boots Sierra!!!!!!!
Try Alaska, like RAN Sailing did
First of all, loved the video of my local waters, Thanx! I suggest you can try a little deeper for Dungeness. It has been my experience, at our local beach nearby anyway, that in the shallower waters (20-ish feet) there is more females than males. Out in the 40-50' foot waters there are more males than females. Not exactly sure why this is, just an observation. Keep up the great work!
Should have caught some shrimp also! 🦐🦐🦐😋
Mt Rainer you should climb it. I summited it in 2000
That was Mt Baker
👍👍👍👍👍
48 degrees! I’ve scuba dived there. Brrrrrr
lol is this thing on!!
Hell yeah we use old bay on the west coast😁
Not on Dungeness crab I hope. Sacrilege.
Aaaah. I think I might have enjoyed what your doing with your youth more than my Momon Mission.
How far behind are these videos? You are sailing in my back yard!
💚💙💚💙💚💙
What’s the name of the Snowy Mountain 🏔 in the distance?
Choice sailing ⛵️ with an invigorating swim gorgeous!!!
My Baker
my friend caught some crabs--said the best way to get rid of them is to pour lighter fluid on your crotch and light it....
Jumping in that water? Strait savage. Nuff said.
Love to Jetty!! 🐾
My husband loads an entire raw chicken in the crab 🦀 trap for bait here on the Coast of Oregon 🌴 in Winchester Bay!!🌊 #davesandersstepdaughter
i you would have scuba dived the san juans it would have taking 1ST place for you.
do crabs feel the pain of being boiled / steamed alive?
