Best resort marina in Hood Canal?

We are on our way to Hood Canal but first we have to go through the Ballard Locks. Then we make our way around Admiralty Inlet and down the Hood Canal past Bangor Station where the Navy submarines are and make sure that we stay clear of the naval base and dock at Alderbrook Resort down in Union Washington.It was a super low tide at minus 3.87 the next day and the weather was going to be a small craft advisory and we wanted to beat the weather.Leroy took a dunk in the water as he was trying to chase a dog on the dock and missed the dock and fell in. Jon hosed off the boat and then it was off to dinner at the restaurant at Alderbrook. The next day the wind picked up and it was a bipolar day one minute it was raining then windy and then sunny ☀️ It was fun to watch the low tide and see all that it exposed. After enjoying our time at Alderbrook Resort we headed North to Pleasant Harbor to spend the night to shave off about an hour and a half off our trip home. Pleasant Harbor Is where Jon had his first job when he was 13 and 14 years old and made about $2.35 an hour pumping gas and taking care of the marina. Pleasant Harbor is in Brinnon WA which has a very small population of 784 people. He walks the dock and compares how it was then to how it is now. The next morning we leave Pleasant Harbor to go back through the Ballad Locks to head back to our slip and clean up the boat.

One of my first jobs when I was 16 was living for the summer on my parents boat and working as a dockboy, pumping gas and cleaning bathrooms, I share your fond memories!

[@ElliYacht1]

That is awesome and I'm sure you can relate to untidy bathrooms

[@johnwootton836]

Is that Strataglass on the flybridge? Love the visibility! Thanks for all the great scenery and tech gouge!

[@ElliYacht1]

Great eye! It is indeed Strataglass. One of the best upgrades by far. Thank you for the encouragement!

Who do you use to wash the boat?

[@ElliYacht1]

Deck Hand Detailing out of Seattle

Oh the West coast is picturesque indeed but on the open deep blue waters there are no locks nor bridges but, who knows perhaps a submarine. Ceramic coating and 1/2 hour washdowns, priceless. Ceramic coat the fenders for an easier clean that'll make lock scum laughable or at least not as gross. Trashing sail boaters is right up there with my distain of Sea-Doo trash, lol... Joh did you ever ceramic coat the shower. I did one mirror, it super beads the water but I have to spray the mirror to clear the glass. Amsoil used to make a hydrophobic windshield application that was utterly fantastic even in winter's snow and ice conditions. I still have some. From experience, I highly recommend their products. Kaitlynn don't stress, filming and editing is work, relax and enjoy life! I'm just asking for one or two thirty minute videos per week....lol...not... Jon the summer schedules are looking better. Have a great week u2...

[@ElliYacht1]

Thanks Phil your sweet my goal was to do one a week but boating season takes priority and I have so much content that I don’t know what to do with. We might have to hire someone

Really didn't appreciate "sailboaters" being referred to as freeloading bums...this opinionated guy is exactly the kind of person that is ruining what was once a wonderful lifestyle.

[@ElliYacht1]

It was my lived experience. I guess who is, ‘ruining what was a wonderful lifestyle’ is a matter of perspective. Prove my past experience wrong by behavior and I will continue to evolve my opinion.

Are you still moored in Marina Mart? I just noticed I am just a few slips away from you! DN36. Knot til Later. Maybe one day I will stop by and say hello!

[@ElliYacht1]

We are not in Marina Mart. It must be a different Navigator

[@rocktoone]

The beginning of your video "Best resort marina in Hood Canal” shows a drone shot of Marina Mart and a quick glimpse of my boat. Oh Well! Thx for the vids I always enjoy them
