Ranger Tug R-29 to Sucia Island

Please note: We use this channel to share our experiences in boating, snowmobiling, motorcycle riding, etc. so we may stay connected to family and friends across many time zones. Some of our videos include our learning experiences and we share those so others may benefit. We are also always open to your wisdom. We are NOT trying to "build a channel" or an online business. When we mention products we like, we do so without compensation or sponsorship.

Emerson cruised from Everett, WA to Fossil Bay in the Sucia Island Washington State Park. We traveled both ways through the Swinomish channel and reduced our mapping of our route - a bit boring. We highlight some of the gorgeous views on and from Sucia. We had a great time and will return soon.

This video also includes the last chapter in our “Float Plan” series. The maps and associated details are only part of our float plan. The rest is somewhat static as it deals with the typical Coast Guard recommended items (e.g. crew, passengers, contact info, etc.)
