Derek, your talents in maintenance, repair and cooking never cease to amaze me! Jen, when you retire to the boat, you should be able to provide a supplement to your income as a videographer. You do a superb job on these videos! Well done!
It's great to see you guys wearing life preserver when in your dinghy. No matter how gooder a swimmer ("floater") you are, if you fall in those cold waters there is a high probability your muscles will cramp up and you'll float like a rock. Another UA-cam who wears life preserver in those waters is Tony Fleming's gang aka Fleming Yachts.
Had some black rock fish, and halibut cheeks a couple days ago. Delicious 😋 Love the texture of halibut cheeks But rock fish are my favorite. You guys rock !
Another great video. Amazing bear shots. Back to work😢😢😢. Got to be done I guess. I use the same reels, Abu Garcia 7000. Last forever and easy to repair.
@MVSKOOKUM1 and then ya send a pic of a "fried chicken " lol. I realize that you have already returned to work, but I have recovered from my surgery, and am goin back on aug 6th.....darn it!!! 😵💫
Hi! We are safe at home 😊. Our other kayak started breaking down and leaking. We didn’t cover it properly so we had to get a new one after 9 years. Is that what you meant Glen?
Wow, what an adventure. Some fantastic fishing to finish off with. The garlic prawns tipped me over the edge, just had a bit of a meat feast a couple of hours ago and now I'm frying up garlic prawns, your killing me. I will have to invest in some napkins whilst watching your vids as the drool is ruining my laptop. Thank you for all your hard work putting these together and taking us with you, its been really special. Now's the ideal time to write that cook book.
Halibut cheeks are pure candy, it's been forever since I've had cheeks. Just the mention of that delicious treat makes me salivate a little. Thanks for taking us along, see ya on the water some day soon. And that Ranger is quite the fisherman.
They are so good aren’t they! Especially on a bbq! Ranger is getting better with fishing learning the sounds of the down riggers and went to yelp ! 🐕🦺
Welcome home. If you need any help with chores, I'm not doing anything this long weekend. I'm able bodied and only charge $0/hr to be on boats....haha. I can also help with filming and drone work if needed... 10% increase from my previous rate...lol. I'm in site 25 feel free to pop over so the twin dogs can meet and I might even have a glass of wine at the ready.
Hahaha hi Darren! Lol 😆. WOW you work for cheap! lol. Ranger wants to meet his twin at the marina here! We are down at the boat this weekend hanging out! 😀
Another great video Skookum crew! One of my favourites for sure. Love the great videography, delicious looking meals and exciting fishing clips! I have to say the southern BC video was very nice but when you got back to northern BC with its quiet serenity and distinct lack of people and other boats, I enjoyed it a little more. Even prefer the weather.😄Cheers for now👋
We love the North too. It’s fun to visit down south and see all the boats and people but it’s nice to come back to the lush green forests and serenity😌. Thank you for watching us!
That Inlet was so beautiful. Also wouldn't mind enjoying some fresh fish and French fries. You even got to see some bears and a whale. Thanks again. I'm sure you guys are looking forward to retirement. 😊
@@MVSKOOKUM1@MVSKOOKUM1 I'm Not sure what iPhone you have, but I upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro. It has very good video capabilities. I would also suggest the Panasonic CX 2000 this is an amazing camcorder. Basically, it will perform really well in auto mode has a 24-600 mm zoom, and is very small. The downside is that it is not water resistant, so filming in wet weather unless you have a rain cover is not a good idea. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to provide what advice I can. Been doing this video thing for the past 25 years.
@LetsGoOutdoors wow thank you! When I purchase a better camera I’ll reach out to you for advice! I have the iPhone 14. It seems to do good too. I’d like a cannon camera oneday !
Hi guys...boy i can't believe how quick the vacation seem to go and too bad vacations have to end.Dereks fish and chips always look soooo good... its 1 am here... now i have to try and find a midnight snack...Derek by any chance can i get your batter recipe for the fish and the garlic prawns? One of these days i would like to grab my fishing rods and make a road trip from edmonton just to taste Dereks fish and chips garlic prawns...lol well my mid night snack is ready. ...torpedo shrimp it is..hehehe another great video guys i always enjoy them... take care
Hahah! Midnight snacks! Yumm. We actually cheat a bit and buy the convenient pre made pack of the batter. We just mix it with beer or water: Club House English Style Fish and Chips batter mix. We like it so much. I’d like to make a sourdough one soon from scratch! For his prawns he uses a mix of soya sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lots of garlic and butter or bacon fat, some Tabasco! We slurp it up. Yummmmm. Thanks for watching us !
I'm sure that somewhere in the Bible it says Jealousy is not a good thing, but I have to admit that I'm totally jealous of you and your lifestyle. Beautiful Yacht, beautiful couple and you must have a good job to be able to afford this lifestyle. Again, I'm totally Jealous.
It’s strange how jealousy works. Because we look over at a 60 foot yacht and say wow look at them on that huge boat! And we are envious! lol. We decided to start budgeting about 7-8 years ago. We went on a strict budget with saving hard, sold a bigger house and went down to a smaller one, sold a vehicle. Sacrifices to be able to buy Skookum. We both aren’t doctors or lawyers lol. We wish we had that income hahah! Just hard work and saving and sacrificing. No hand outs for us. Thank you for watching us and enjoying our videos 😃🌸. Jen

Wow what a nice compliment! Thank you so much. Makes us happy 😃. Thanks for always watching us and commenting. We like seeing your comments ! Jen 😊
I worked for Arv Sestrap when I was a teenager. He had a fishing lodge in Danube Bay. That was in 1978.
Wow 1978! I was three years old then ! Jen 😃
It's great to see you guys wearing life preserver when in your dinghy.

Yes we always try to wear them! Or at least have them on the dinghy. Just in case! You never know. The waters are so cold!🥶
Had some black rock fish, and halibut cheeks a couple days ago. Delicious 😋
Love the texture of halibut cheeks
But rock fish are my favorite.
You guys rock !
We like halibut cheeks too :) And rock fish are so delicious.. We actually prefer them to halibut sometimes. More juicy... yummm
Another great video. Amazing bear shots. Back to work😢😢😢. Got to be done I guess. I use the same reels, Abu Garcia 7000. Last forever and easy to repair.
Thank you! Yes back to work, LOL booo boooo hahah. It has to be done... Our reels work great so far too!
Thanks for sharing your adventures. Alaska is so big (a lot of Hollands haha) and still you all know each other. You are beautiful souls and people! 💗
Your compliment made us smile! Thank you for watching our ocean adventures😊
Jen, your such a tease...fish and chips with ketchup and vinegar...ohhh god, soo good 👍
Sorry I had to share that delicious picture! LOL :)🐥
@MVSKOOKUM1 and then ya send a pic of a "fried chicken " lol. I realize that you have already returned to work, but I have recovered from my surgery, and am goin back on aug 6th.....darn it!!! 😵💫
Momma bear wants more bears !🐻
Hahaha I love bears! They are so amazing Jen
Once , I was on an offshore oil platform off the coast of Nigeria and witnessed 5 active water spouts at the same time.
Oh wow that’s amazing. Was it scary to see? I’ve never seen one ! 😀
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I think I prefer the northern isolation and natural beauty!
We love how the north is so green and lush. It’s so beautiful with the mountains ! Lots of waterfalls too ! Thank you for watching us!
We really enjoyed your trip. Thanks for bringing us all along. What happened to the kayak?
Love the views and fishing.
Welcome home.

Really enjoyed sharing the adventure with you. Thanks for taking us along ❤. Mike UK
Thank you Mike! I’m sad it’s over, but we will just keep being weekenders now all winter lol

Hahah! Love your food cravings. Makes us laugh 🤣😂. Our belts are a little tight after this vacation. 😂. Prawns are so delicious aren’t they!

Back in Bear country. You had a wonderful trip.
Our trip was one of the best boat trips we have been on, just more adventurous now! We can't wait to retire oneday so we can adventure more ☺

Yes it was amazing! We had such a great trip! It will keep me dreaming all winter
Some great captures with the Grizzly bear eating a salmon and the breaching whale!
Yes hard moments to get. Makes me wish I had a professional camera instead of my iPhone lol. Maybe oneday!! 🙏

As David Bowie once said A fantastic voyage..
Cheers😌🥂🍻🥂
By a lotteryticket and wish for the best. Really envious that you have a boat to explore and enjoy. Peter 🇸🇪
We really enjoy it so much, we wanted to start planning while we are younger and pay off some bills so we can be free soon. ⚓️⚓️⚓️🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺

Thank you wish we could share so much more! My videos would be hours long 😊🌸
