Cool facts: Otis Redding was sitting in Sausalito when he wrote " sitting on the dock of the bay" and Journey's " Lights" was inspired by the view from Sausalito.
@@Will-ib2js I don't think he was writing about Monterey Bay......but he did perform at the Monterey Pop Festival a few weeks earlier.....everything I read states that he was on a houseboat in Sausalito, writing part of the song (Steve Cropper wrote most of it, and was a prolific writer for Otis...he also played guitar on the track) and listening to the waves, and seagulls, and "watching the ships roll in" and taking it all in....if you listen closely to the song, those sounds were incorporated into the song, as Otis had requested.....I sure wish he didn't get on that plane....the weather was horrific, and they were advised not to fly, but it is what it is.....great man, great legacy, and he accomplished all of that by 26...RIP The Big O
"It's nothing like seeing...." There's nothing like seeing.... Apparently you need.to go back to elementary school along " whiff al ya utter bleek brudders".
Along with Scoma's as well. A few years ago walking back from Scoma's, Richard Gere was in a window seat at Angelino's. He's right, Sausalito is a hidden gem.
Don't come in the summer it's cold and windy AF, Late August to October we get really nice and warm weather. Thanks for always putting us on some good ish!
Thinking of a four day event there during the first weekend in August. Does the weather begin to at least lean towards the warmer side by then? Thanks!
I have a gf that went to school in LA. I sent her this video and she suggested we go in December. She couldn't see my face but must have known what I was thinking because she said the same thing 😂😂
First, welcome to the Bay Area. I’ve been here for over 35 years and have always known about the hidden gems here. I ride my bike from Oakland to Sausalito and back twice weekly-56 miles round trip. This place never fails to amaze me! Also, check out the beautiful homes in the Oakland Hills with panoramic views of the bay and San Francisco - I know because that’s where I live. The bay is vibrate and diverse (not only culturally but by race and geography). Sonoma is another hidden gem along with Napa. And finally, dude you are just three hours drive from Lake Tahoe where there is some of the best snow skiing in the world. Now, if you want to get fit and see the Bay Area by bike....hit me back as there is a large contingent of cyclist here. Happy you are here - proud Oakland resident.
There's A LOT of hidden gems in California, but visitors are always so focused on LA/Hollywood that they totally miss out on what Cali really has to offer. With that said, Sausalito is amazing. Great video!
It’s so true. The first time I went to San Francisco I cried. although I’d lived in 4 states already and had traveled around the world, it was one of the best places I’ve ever been. The sights and atmosphere. Sausalito was like Paradise. So clean, quiet, and peaceful. I didn’t understand how I could leave. It’s just one of those places that you go to and just never look back. A whole new world.
Aren't we the luckiest? When I first moved to the bay area in 1985, I lived on a sailboat in Sausalito! What a fantastic experience. I loved sailing with my parents who lived in the marina right in downtown Sausalito. We used to sail to Scott's at Jack London Square every year for Thanksgiving! So much fun to show up on a boat! Happy memories. I got married at the Alta Mira hotel on NYE with a full moon...childhood dream come true!
I love this! We had our wedding reception in Sausalito so I can vouch for how nice it is. And black people living well and exploring, love to see it. Plus he shows how important/helpful it is to talk with people and network. Get to know the restaurant owners, get to know the captain of the boat, get to know the bartender or owner. These relationships will help you down the line and if you ever have friends or family looking for something to do, you’ll be the ultimate plug. Aside from that, hella funny how half of the video was this dude stunting though lol.
Lol fully melanin? Some of y’all delusional. It’s 2021 and no one uses the one drop rule anymore. They are always biracial/mixed with loose curly hair if we are being honest. Anyway, great content!
@Antonio Stewart First, let’s look at this without emotion go my guy. “Lighter to darker hues of melanated people”. What causes that? The level of melanin. Which therefore means the darkest of people with that substance have the fullest levels of it as opposed to the lightest peoples with that substance. Simple my dude. Take care!
I made it to Sausalito this year in October because of you... I went to some of the places you mentioned... Jim at Hanson said, "Hello." My husband and I had the best time looking at the art work there... We enjoyed Fish restaurant and took the ferry to San Francisco for the bus tour... This video is awesome!!! Thank you so much...❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Having raised our kids in Sausalito, we wanted to see this captured all the stuff the locals love as well. Check, check, and CHECK. Casa Madrona and Cafe DiVino, for example. Vina del Mar Park is another. Of course, any way you can get on the water, go for it-and they did. But my fave: driving through the Marin Headlands and hanging in Kirby Cove. PERFECTION. The view, the solitude, nature....Well done!
As a life long Marin resident, it’s amazing to see this place I’ve grown up visiting all the time in a tourism light. Even though you can become blasé about some of the beautiful aspects of SF, Sausalito never fails to be stunning no matter how many times you’ve seen her before.
Found your page and glad I did. One of the best videos. I worked in San Francisco most of my life but Sausalito was my favorite place to shop and dine. My goal in life was always to purchase a house in Sausalito. 10 years ago it was not affordable and now I would need millions. Very pricy but the privacy, views and security is on point. You will stand out if you know what I mean. You can walk and get everything you need within one mile. And if its not happening go across the bay. It always had been an older crowd for all the events. Crime is really low- if any. A very tight knit community. Streets are real narrow. Parking is an headache if you drive due to most of the streets are for residence only. If you like the finer things-this is a place for you.
Wow bro!! My wife and I discovered Sausalito a few years ago almost by accident when we went across the Golden Gate. Sausalito was amazing. We wanted to stay in one of those fabulous houseboats. So glad you are spreading the word about this wonderful place.
(Sausalito resident story related to Sausalito and Otis Redding) My best friend was a sophisticated black Persian cat named Otis who ruled all the other cats and raccoons in the under ground, beneath the dock, pipeline highways, of the houseboat community on Issaquah Dock in the seaside Mediterranean village of Sausalito, Ca. I inherited him (or he inherited me) from a neighbor, an elderly woman who died, and was a friend of Otis Redding, a very famous singer and king of soul in the 1960s, who was with him on the docks in Sausalito, Ca when he wrote the song "Sittin On The Dock Of The Bay". Otis Redding died in an airplane crash in the 1960s on his way to a scheduled performance. Otis Redding ua-cam.com/video/rTVjnBo96Ug/v-deo.html Sausalito ua-cam.com/video/vW8GX6SW_2A/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/qUaCGBuzfVc/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/VOVTYcx5Gbc/v-deo.html Apparently years later, after Otis Reddings death, she got a black Persian cat and named him Otis after her friend Otis Redding, that I inherited when she died. Although, I am not sure if I inherited Otis or he choose me, as he would come to visit me many times before she died. I loved Otis (the cat) so much that I built all kinds of unique things for him. Custom hideouts, lairs, beds, toys and more. He would even assist/watch me when I put my telescope on the top of the houseboat in the midnight hours trying to get images of the moon, planet's, etc. He was a great friend! Sometimes like a faithful dog, he would walk with me down the dock. Not many cats like that, he was extraordinary! He was constantly licking himself to get rid of the enormous amount of hair on his body. He would barf hair balls so much that I started to help him by removing enormous amounts of hair from him, first brushing which was useless and finally pulling it out. He would come by and remind me of his hair removal appointment every other day. I would remove his hair outside on the upper deck of the houseboat, there was so much hair to remove that when I got it off of him and tossed it into the air, it would stick on my neighbors houseboats across the channel on the dock across from me, and it was accumulating so much on those other house boats that I had to try something else before it was discovered by angry houseboat owners. Some of his hair is probably till sticking to the sides of those houseboats till this day hah! Eventually, I had to bring him to the vet because he was being blocked, could not pee, hoping to cure him, the vet had to stick a thin rotor tube up into his you know what to clear him and wanted to perform surgery on him, cutting open his stomach to remove the hair, I refused! The cure for Otis was to radically change his diet, stop feeding him dry food. From that point on, Otis only ate what I ate. He would only eat fresh bay scallops, fresh Dungeness crab when available and bottled water, hah! Whose running who here I thought! I discovered that Otis secretly had others who took care of him, two-timing me! He was indeed a sophisticated cat! One thing i discovered about cats is that they lie! I miss Otis very much who died of cancer. I was informed by a friend who inherited him from me as I was working on a contract far away from home, I was way beyond sad.
My children and I lived in tiny Sausalito, for two and a half years. It's the first city that you'll enter, as soon as, you cross the Golden Gate Bridge (going north, of course) into Marin County. It's aiight...lol. Although, extremely scenic topography with top-notch weather...mostly hype, like most touristy places. ...sadly, like most of northern California (including San Francisco), Sausalito is VERY segregated in a nineteen-sixties way.
Sausalito & the Marin Headlands, Mill Valley and Muir Woods Forest - these are places I love visiting when in California for work. I come a long way (Melbourne, Australia) to visit these places too. :) Life-changing experience, and look forward to visiting again - when we can travel safely. Oh, Oakland is beautiful too. I love the bay. :)
Sausalito is much closer to San Francisco than Oakland. It’s a half hour from Berkeley driving fast with no traffic. I would say that Sausalito is at least 45 minutes away from Oakland. I used to commute.
Just came back from Sausalito CA and this place is amazing! Weather was great, a tad cool but coming from Florida it was a nice change of pace (no humidity). The views were spectacular, and Casa Madrona is worth every penny. Big thanks to the hotel staff for making us feel at home. Pics won't do this place justice, definitely a "must do" if you are ever in the bay area. Kudos on this video this really encapsulate the Sausalito vibe....
I visited there briefly once, while on a bus tour of San Francisco. Near the GG bridge, the weather was not pleasant: chilly and windy. Going over the bridge in the open-air bus on the way to Sausalito was not much better. But when we arrived in Sausalito, the weather changed in an instant. It was warm and comfortable, and everyone was walking around in shorts and t-shirts. California's microclimates are ming-boggling. This town will definitely be one of my first stops on my next Bay Area visit.
no u cant. those places are more rough around the edges, but as a person raised in marin who lived in sf and oakland and now has been in nyc for 10 years, i would rather live in oakland for sure. i lived in sausalito for 5 years, it is a nice place but quiet
Careful in the rush to monetize everything. Teaming with cities compromises objectivity. Audience could potentially lose faith in the credibility of the videos if they perceive it as shilling
For those who live in the Bay Area and like to explore is not a "hidden" place but indeed is a "gem", the whole coast of North California and Washington state are gems!!! Nice video!
Great video. I love the production. Y'all DID THAT!!! I'm a Bay Area native born and raised. I've only been to Sausalito once that I recall...maybe my parents took me when I was younger. The host is 100% correct in stating Sausalito has its own vibe. Thanks for sharing this beautiful city and exposing me to places I didn't know as well as the affordability of sailing and renting a yacht. I'll be sure to visit Sausalito very soon -- especially the restaurants.
Didn't think Sausalito was a hidden gem, I assumed it was fairly well known, but I lived in the Bay for two years and it really is a piece of heaven on Earth.
I’ve been hanging out in Sausalito since the 70’s. It’s gotten more interesting over the years. Great video. I’d like to share another hidden gem----Point Richmond A Neighborhood in Richmond, California--Point Richmond, sometimes referred to locally as The Point, is a neighborhood in Richmond, California, United States, near the eastern end of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, between Interstate 580 and the San Francisco Bay. Restaurants: Up & Under Pub and Grill, Hotel Mac Restaurant, Little Louie’s Café & Catering, Raymond’s Pizzeria, Brezo, Jin Ye Restaurant, Aky's Café, Great American Hamburger, Extreme Pizza, Maya Taqueria, The Baltic, Four2Nine Wine Bar, More Hotels: Hotel Mac & Suites, Surestay Plus Hotel By Best Western Point Richmond, Marina Bay Inn & Suites Richmond, Days Inn. Check it out on your next visit.
This was a gorgeous video, I'm from the bay, born and raised in Oakland, now residing in Houston TX, I knew about Sausalito but had never been there, it is beautiful, I can see myself retiring there if I win the lottery, lol, must visit when I come home to visit.
Love this video, really well done! I actually live in the Bay area and love Sausalito. I used to take my macaw there with me and took pictures of tourists with her for free. The reason the best weather is in October is because when it's really hot inland during the summer, it draws the fog into the bay so it's really cold and windy. Go 10 miles inland and it's 90 degrees while Sausalito is in the 50's!
Spent many days in Sausalito. It is a unique place. Capitola is another cool little spot down in the Santa Cruz area. Thanks for the light. Keep up the videos…
It's so funny this video came out right before my husband and I travel to San Francisco in two weeks with no itinerary. Just purchased the guide. Thanks!
Man! The photography/videography (and editing) in this video - especially the intro is amazing! I can't even imagine the number of hours that went into it. Excellent content as well.
Salute to the homie for showing this. Because I need to take my lady out and this is really nice she'll love it. I know or sure she'll book an extra two days. Blessings for your work my dude live the life show us and blessings to anything you do.
My wife and I go there about once a month to cool off from the heat inland. It is really one of the most beautiful places we have been to. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos my good sir!
Wow, I was born in Oakland and never even knew about this place. We definitely need more black creators with beautiful content like this. Excellent video.
Thank you for another banger PassPortHeavy! Sausalito and Oaktown are definitely a destination! I have family out in Oakland and Northern Cali so yeah that drive across the GG Bridge is a definite vibe! Thank you very much PassPortHeavy crew! Peace & Blessings!
I spent a lot of time in Sausalito many years ago. The BEST views of San Francisco. Next to Big Sur, its one of my favorite spots in Northern California. Thanks for the memory.
High Value and Busy men get and know what they want but they're ready, Can some of you men take ladies on trips or walks or meals like this fng shame if not or Somethings wrong with her
hey, my man... I have watched you for 4 years and you always take it to the next level !!!! never imagined they have places like this in the USA. Thanks for this video and the inspiration and the quality.... ready to take my wife there soon!!!
I am so blessed to have been able to grow up in the midst of this beautiful place. I used to actually work at the Casa Madrona. Let me know if you need any voice overs for your channel.
I have no idea how this populated on my time-line, all I can say is I'm thrilled to be here. Not only is this a "channel", you are giving us an experience!
Cool facts: Otis Redding was sitting in Sausalito when he wrote " sitting on the dock of the bay" and Journey's " Lights" was inspired by the view from Sausalito.

There's nothing like seeing....

I grew up in Sausalito and it is a 'hidden gem'". The "Inn above tide" that sits above the water is worth mentioning!
Along with Scoma's as well. A few years ago walking back from Scoma's, Richard Gere was in a window seat at Angelino's. He's right, Sausalito is a hidden gem.
Tough living growing up there 😊
Yes, I could not believe it was not mentioned!!!!
Yes! My husband and I stayed there. A wonderful inn - staff was awesome and we met some great people from the UK who we still communicate with.❤️
Stayed there last week (1st time in Sausalito) and it was amazing!
The videography is second to none. Beautiful women, great vibes, relaxing music, awesome narration and editing; You guys keep winning. Stay safe.
Yes, but realistic.
Don't come in the summer it's cold and windy AF, Late August to October we get really nice and warm weather. Thanks for always putting us on some good ish!

Thank you for this- we're thinking of going in early October.
Thanks for that tidbit
First, welcome to the Bay Area. I’ve been here for over 35 years and have always known about the hidden gems here. I ride my bike from Oakland to Sausalito and back twice weekly-56 miles round trip. This place never fails to amaze me! Also, check out the beautiful homes in the Oakland Hills with panoramic views of the bay and San Francisco - I know because that’s where I live. The bay is vibrate and diverse (not only culturally but by race and geography). Sonoma is another hidden gem along with Napa. And finally, dude you are just three hours drive from Lake Tahoe where there is some of the best snow skiing in the world. Now, if you want to get fit and see the Bay Area by bike....hit me back as there is a large contingent of cyclist here. Happy you are here - proud Oakland resident.
The lunatics didn’t reach that place yet?
Ride over to Tiburon another Gem. Originally from Oakland. I also cycle and I live here now.

It’s gotta be a blessing having him as a homeboy 😅

Fully melanated? Lupita Nyong’o is an example of a fully melanated women.
@Antonio Stewart First, let’s look at this without emotion go my guy. “Lighter to darker hues of melanated people”. What causes that? The level of melanin.

Just came back from Sausalito CA and this place is amazing! Weather was great, a tad cool but coming from Florida it was a nice change of pace (no humidity). The views were spectacular, and Casa Madrona is worth every penny. Big thanks to the hotel staff for making us feel at home. Pics won't do this place justice, definitely a "must do" if you are ever in the bay area. Kudos on this video this really encapsulate the Sausalito vibe....
I visited there briefly once, while on a bus tour of San Francisco. Near the GG bridge, the weather was not pleasant: chilly and windy. Going over the bridge in the open-air bus on the way to Sausalito was not much better. But when we arrived in Sausalito, the weather changed in an instant. It was warm and comfortable, and everyone was walking around in shorts and t-shirts. California's microclimates are ming-boggling. This town will definitely be one of my first stops on my next Bay Area visit.
You can find the same thing in Oakland and Berkeley. Shoutout to all my baydestrians ✊🏾
no u cant. those places are more rough around the edges, but as a person raised in marin who lived in sf and oakland and now has been in nyc for 10 years, i would rather live in oakland for sure. i lived in sausalito for 5 years, it is a nice place but quiet
@Patra K Not the same - the East Bay has more culture
Yeeeeeeeee
#707 ya dig
@@lahbody415 what's some dope MUST DO's in Oakland. I will be there May 19. I want to spend some time there before I head to napa.
2 minutes in and I must say this quality and content is A1. Well done. Love to see it
*Business move: You guys should partner with local governments to sponsor tourism to their cities. Untapped market
Yes we and Saulsalito if y’all watching we will still accept a check 😉. Jubril
Crazy you just gave them free game because I just old my girl I’m taking my drone out and I’m finna get paid!!
A flex, to be sure!
Careful in the rush to monetize everything. Teaming with cities compromises objectivity. Audience could potentially lose faith in the credibility of the videos if they perceive it as shilling
@@PassportHeavy lmao....keeping it classy as always Jubril.
I grew up in Tiburon yes it’s the most beautiful place in the US - Marin County Baby ❤️
Visuals are amazing! Good editing bro! From England, UK
For those who live in the Bay Area and like to explore is not a "hidden" place but indeed is a "gem", the whole coast of North California and Washington state are gems!!! Nice video!
The places are beautiful and this guy know how to put the outfit together! Should do a episode on what you wear and brands!
Great video. I love the production. Y'all DID THAT!!!
I'm a Bay Area native born and raised. I've only been to Sausalito once that I recall...maybe my parents took me when I was younger.
The host is 100% correct in stating Sausalito has its own vibe. Thanks for sharing this beautiful city and exposing me to places I didn't know as well as the affordability of sailing and renting a yacht. I'll be sure to visit Sausalito very soon -- especially the restaurants.
Awesome!
Didn't think Sausalito was a hidden gem, I assumed it was fairly well known, but I lived in the Bay for two years and it really is a piece of heaven on Earth.
I’ve been hanging out in Sausalito since the 70’s. It’s gotten more interesting over the years. Great video.
I’d like to share another hidden gem----Point Richmond

This was a gorgeous video, I'm from the bay, born and raised in Oakland, now residing in Houston TX, I knew about Sausalito but had never been there, it is beautiful, I can see myself retiring there if I win the lottery, lol, must visit when I come home to visit.
Truly a gem. Both energetically and physically that place feels clean and purifying.
I've been waiting for a Sausalito video like this for about 10 years! Thank you for coming thru! Just subscribed -
Love this video, really well done! I actually live in the Bay area and love Sausalito. I used to take my macaw there with me and took pictures of tourists with her for free. The reason the best weather is in October is because when it's really hot inland during the summer, it draws the fog into the bay so it's really cold and windy. Go 10 miles inland and it's 90 degrees while Sausalito is in the 50's!
Thank you Jacky for that amazing explanation. *Jubril
I'm from SF, live in Oakland and never really been to Sausalito like that! But this was extremely inviting! I might visit over there! LOL Love it!
u better know about it
Spent many days in Sausalito. It is a unique place. Capitola is another cool little spot down in the Santa Cruz area. Thanks for the light. Keep up the videos…
It's so funny this video came out right before my husband and I travel to San Francisco in two weeks with no itinerary. Just purchased the guide. Thanks!
I was smiling the whole time you were describing places you'd been!!! Your energy is infectious!!
Appreciate that *Jubril
Well done y'all! As a lifelong bay resident you've inspired me to explore Sausalito more!
Really appreciate you taking the time to stop by and leave a comment. Especially as lifelong bay resident that means a lot.
My mother grew up in Sausalito/Marin County way before it became gentrified.
It was very racist back in the day.
I had NO IDEA this even existed! I got 10-15 minutes into the video thinking you were in Italy.
Love those driving sunset shots especially. Music , editing, camera work, aerials-on point. Awesome video-Thanks.
We appreciate that for real.
Man! The photography/videography (and editing) in this video - especially the intro is amazing! I can't even imagine the number of hours that went into it. Excellent content as well.
I agree with you on the Amalfi coast reference. Positano came to mind right after watching the intro.
shouts to Larry June for putting me on Sausalito
this is actually what i liked about Istanbul it reminds me of San Francisco/Sausalito/Tiburon areas
Love the opening music.
Could you be knowing the title of that instrumental by any chance?
Salute to the homie for showing this. Because I need to take my lady out and this is really nice she'll love it. I know or sure she'll book an extra two days. Blessings for your work my dude live the life show us and blessings to anything you do.
The intro alone is a vibe.
My wife and I go there about once a month to cool off from the heat inland. It is really one of the most beautiful places we have been to. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos my good sir!
You really know the spots to go. Keep enjoying.

Awww!!! So happy to see my backyard featured in a video! Grew up next door in San Anselmo :))
No way!
Wow, I was born in Oakland and never even knew about this place. We definitely need more black creators with beautiful content like this. Excellent video.
Thank you for another banger PassPortHeavy! Sausalito and Oaktown are definitely a destination! I have family out in Oakland and Northern Cali so yeah that drive across the GG Bridge is a definite vibe! Thank you very much PassPortHeavy crew! Peace & Blessings!
You’re very welcome 🙏🏿
Draymond doing his thing 😆
Love Sausalito - was here last year!
Was thinking of taking mom for Mother’s Day! Haven’t been in a while
I spent a lot of time in Sausalito many years ago. The BEST views of San Francisco. Next to Big Sur, its one of my favorite spots in Northern California. Thanks for the memory.
You know the good spots.
As a SF Native, its always nice to take the Bay Ferry from SF, to Sausalito on a day trip to visit one of their many restaurants for lunch also.
Larry June talks about this place in his lyrics a lot 🤙🏾🌴✈️
Larry that dude 🍊
Literally the first time i heard of this place was from him lol
You offer a different perspective on your travels. Keep up the good work! Oh yeah and the lovely ladies in the video.
Brother Jubril; you and your traveling/media squadron are the inspirational-truth!
That boy Jabril got a type.....curly & fit lol
Nothin wrong with that 😜
High Value and Busy men get and know what they want but they're ready, Can some of you men take ladies on trips or walks or meals like this fng shame if not or Somethings wrong with her
As a young boy, I grew up in the Bay area. A town called Dublin. I lived there from 1968 to 1976. I had no idea that Sausalito was this cool.
Man your videos look better than network shows. Keep representing my brotha. Its nice to see us ballin like that.
the ultimate touch of beauty , very refreshing
Larry June rap about this place

Sausalito is awesome! Been there a few times.
I’ve never seen anything beautiful like this
I am so blessed to have been able to grow up in the midst of this beautiful place. I used to actually work at the Casa Madrona. Let me know if you need any voice overs for your channel.
How is the weather there in early August, has it started to warm up by then?
@@terrynutall6529 Yes it is usually really nice but the fog does come in and bring that natural air conditioning.
@@speakvisionspeak Thank you. What would you say are the best months to visit to get the most out of a stay there?
I have no idea how this populated on my time-line, all I can say is I'm thrilled to be here. Not only is this a "channel", you are giving us an experience!
