Welcome to the San Juan Islands. We have lived here for the past 25 years and have cruised here for over 50 years. I'm glad you are enjoying what we believe are part of the best cruising grounds in the world. You have just scratched the surface of the Pacific Northwest cruising grounds, especially, the Inside Passage between Puget Sound and Southeast Alaska: 1200 miles of (mostly) sheltered waters that almost any boat can handle. There are just a few open water crossings, and if you just pick your weather everything is fine. If you end up cruising and voyaging extensively, plan at least one full season in the Pacific Northwest. Once you've been to Alaska, you never come all the way back.

Even with this vid filmed before the wedding I watched it with a little more warmth in my heart. I'm a dad and a grandad and I'm old fashioned, (just the way it is) Congrats guys. Looking forward to many more years of your adventurous lives.

Same here my friend, same here. I’ve watched them since the last days of Tula OG. Sierra is a real gem. I hope Billy never lets her forget that. Or forget it for himself. They seem pretty darn good together so far. And spending time with your spouse and seeking privacy to enjoy the nature together, that’s true friendship as well, so I’m happy to see them be married!!

My favorite people, and 🐕. Sierra wakes up smiling 😁 Love lighthouses ! 😍

Hey guys! Congrats on the nuptials! I have friends in Vietnam. Without running water. Try this Vietnam shower. Put about three to four gallons of comfortable temperature water in a bucket in the shower. Then with a 1 qt scoop or plastic cup, slowly pour one quart on your head (ladies may need an extra scoop for their hair) then one quart over your body slowly. Soap and shampoo. I kept a scoop of water on the side to rinse my hands without soaping the bucket. You now have 12 plus quarts of water to ladle shower over yourself to rinse. The stream of water coming out of the scoop hitting you has a different feel than a regular shower. It's heavy and luxurious. You can feel the heavy water hit you and then roll down from the top to the bottom. Pour it over a 5 to 15 second interval each scoop. It feels like a water massage. And all this for only three to four gallons of water per shower. On cold mornings it can be done with five to six scoops and just a couple minutes! Effective therapeutic way to conserve water!

It's so fun to see you visiting all our favorite places! Love your beautiful videos and it's so fun to see you back on the water.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see the San Juan Islands.

Hey guys you have a good time up there off the West Coast. I can't wait to see you on your new boat. Restrictions are lifting everywhere you might get it sooner than you think. Thanks for sharing your boat life and experiences with us sometimes you put a smile on our face

I have a diesel heater in my camper and I love it. No timed running or anything, just runs by temperature or by fan speed. It's kept us warm down to single digits. Highly recommended!

I can't wait for your new home to be delivered!! Loved the wedding photos! Sail On

Glad to see more of you guys in the San Juan Islands. You HAVE to spend a summer up there. I've cruised that area for over 25 years and miss it. Keep the vids coming.

HEY!! Good too see a KZread family sailing in my home waters! Stuart Island and that lighthouse is beautiful. Warmest wishes for great boating in the Gulf Islands and the San Juans!

Loved the trails you shared with us. Beautiful boat!

I'm glad you guys are enjoying my sailing backyard. Every time I sail offshore I always end up missing the pacific northwest :) we livaboard year round in Victoria Bc and its amazing, you just need the right gear. LOVE your videos.

Hello from MokiMak. So glad you had a good time sailing her, and congratulations on your recent nuptials. I hope your new Seawind meets all your expectations and then some. We haven’t seen many killer whales in the San Juans. Most of our sightings have been further north in Canada and Alaska. I totally agree with you about the galley down, the heater and the shower, it makes for such comfort on the boat. We are selling Moki in late summer as we are buying the larger Seawind 1370 next year. We are going to miss her but someone else will be having some great adventures in a tried and true and loved sailing vessel just like we have. Maybe we’ll see you in the South Seas someday. Safe passage.

Dang! I was looking to charter her in 2023.

Enjoying another great vid from you guys while sippin coffee in my Tula Bahama Strong tee shirt 🇧🇸. Doesn’t that feel like a minute ago? Keep up the adventures and thanks for sharing!

Big thanks from Québec Canada 🇨🇦

awesome. ive lived on the islands for yrs. love it here in FH

Always enjoy your videos

You both are so awesome you guys always have a great attitude

Why I spent all my summers on Orcas Island growing up. I miss those days.

So beautiful! Love how excited you are to see killer whales - I hope next trip you spot some. They really are magical. Also the sea wing!! We’ve had the 1160 or 1260 high on our dream boat list super cool to see you guys on one and stoked for your future boat.

Really like ya guys. I’ve got the same iron flask cooler, best I’ve ever had!

Great area to be sailing! love the vids!

It seems even more special to watch since you are here in my neck of the woods. The island folks around here are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. And if you ever come back this way you definitely need to surf Tofino B.C.

Great video as always Fair winds ⛵️

I live in Seattle and have sailed the San Juan's many times. It really is a wonderfully beautiful place. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It's twice as nice in summer. Enjoy.

Enjoyed the tour of the boat and the Pacific Northwest.

I will be glad when you all are back home on your own boat in a warm tropical setting , coming from a cold cowboy from Wyoming

Fantastic program. Great boat great scenery. Great content. I live your dog. I can't want for the next program

You guys are alright. Thx for bringing back the days when I hiked NH> white MT's. Skied many places and hang glide some of the peaks.. we need to turn off the TV world and get outside and find a place with few interruptions then reconnect our body,mind & soul. It's free even if it's just a walk to nowhere. "Die with memories not dreams"

I can't help but think if dogs have people like thoughts Jetty must be thinking we are back where we belong. The boat looks great and the three of you look right at home. Thanks stay happy and safe.

I totally am falling in love with this version of the Catamaran... I'm thinking about getting a boat in a few yrs and I totally appreciate the content I've been messaging you guys on IG safe travels

What a slick fresh boat 😍🥰 very nice pretty vaca on the water. 👍

Thanks for sharing

Funny note: you went from Garrison Bight Key West, FL to Garrison Bay WA and everything in-between in less than 12 months! Great stuff!

I can’t imagine your not enjoying yourselves! We went to the Poconos. Just an unforgettable time.

Even tho I have made the walk to Stuart Island light house many times it’s still interesting to watch others do the same. Stuart is one of our favorite stops to take folks that haven’t been in the San Juan’s before, lots of neat things to see.

Glad you found the San Juans. My introduction was via sea kayak (I built a kit boat by Pygmy out of Port Townsend), paddled to all the places you sailed. Years later (2019) took a course with San Juan Sailing, spent a week sailing to all the same places, very cool to experience it from that side as well. We did spend one night in a Roche Harbor slip, as advertised it was very snooty. All those weird swirly currents you sailed through are a whole other thing in a sea kayak :D. Thanks for sharing your time there

We really enjoy watching your adventures. Watching your wedding on the water was so beautiful. You both are living the dream!

Happy days 💙💙💙

Looks like you are settled in nicely on your charter, looking very comfy. Love the views you have in the islands. Hope you find your orca(s).

Such a super cool place! I need to cruise up there!

In the 80's we moored our uniflite between john Wayne's navy ship and pat Riley of the lakers.this was at Roche harbor, absolutely beautiful place!

Glad you like the Magma nested. We bought a set for out DF43 but won’t try till spring.

I was wondering why I wasn't getting you videos .so I checked it it was off .boy I miss you guys and love you both. Stay safe ..

Wow, it's so beautiful there! I love seeing you back on the water, Jetty looks happy as well. You guys inspire me to eat healthier and have a more active lifestyle. Thank you! Hugs 😎❤🐕🌎☀️⛵🍅🥑🍊🥥🥦🥕🍍🍓🍇🍎🍊🍉

Nice cat! Can’t wait to see yours

You two should consider doing the great loop. When you get your new boat put the mast in storage and do the loop.

Billy, the heaters that have "moist heat" are likely ventless heaters that vent their exhaust into the cabin. This is not something I would recommend because it traps the moisture that is a byproduct of combustion in the boat, and boats are humid enough already. That doesn't even address the carbon monoxide that stays in the cabin. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 on your wedding 💕💕💒💒💒💒.love it vlog

To save water, shower together.

Back to the water!!!!!

Perfect boat for Jetty 😀

Again I love to see your dog each week, but this is a preveiw of what it will be like when you get your new boat. I saw the red barn in the begenning of this program, and asked why old barns were usualy red. The answer was in the beginning of our nation there were no paint stores so farmers mix rust with flax seed oil, and it protected wood from fungus, mold, and rot.

Nice lighthouse info.

My brother and I go once a year to the island for my nephew's birthday we explore the whole island riding bikes and going on hikes!!! If you go to rouche harbor, we always stop at this place I think it's called madrona bar and grill!!!! Absolutely amazing food!!!! But nothing beats the time we grilled salmon at the skate park basically right off the ocean and hit the skate park after!!!!!! Absolutely the best meal I have ever had. I fell in love with the San Juan islands mainly Friday harbor! I dream about getting a catamaran and just living out there. I can't wait for the day that I can finally live out there I'm tired of Colorado 🤣

Hello from Orcas!

Congrats guys. Maybe you can go full circle and call the new boat Tula.

I live in Arlington, WA on the river with a sandy beach. Water front property :) It is nice in WA but I'm about ready to sell and get a catamaran to live on. Your right about moving around. It would be a supper nice change of pace from mowing the lawn and such.

No Tulas... I always enjoyed you on the sea... Now you are on, I am waiting for your own boat...

Webasto heaters sometimes get obnoxious problems and don't stay lit. I love them when they work right though. I have a cooktop heater where you fold the top down and the fan blows air out in my much smaller boat. Works pretty well but won't put out nearly the same heat as the Webasto units. There's also some Chinese knock off Webasto units.

With respect to cooking oatmeal, you can cook it in apple juice and sprinkle granulated ginger on it. Minced prunes or other dried fruit are to be added. This helps you feel alive and well-fed.

RED tide.... is plant that the shell fish eat it is seasonal the red comes from the blossom of plantain . We live on Whidbey Island (Oak Harbor)

Smellavision coming to Tula's Endless Summer channel soonish... hehe 👍👊👍👊

Well, you should have had me with you, because I always see Orcas! I don't think I have ever been out on the Sound when I didn't see Orcas. I don't think I have ever been out on any ocean when I didn't see dolphins, Orcas, or whales! My ex would get so mad at me because I would come home bragging about seeing so many Orcas on my ferry ride, so he would decide to go to Friday harbor over the weekend on the ferry. Nothing, till he left to go to the bathroom or get a cup of coffee and they would show up, and by the time he got back the would be gone. Hehehehe! He swore I had some kind of special connection with them. I have even had them breach right next to the boat and found myself looking one in the eye and it me!

Con. Grats you guys

We laugh at every episode and always say, "they are so WEIRD" but keep watching!! 🤣

You guys planning sail to the south pacific in the future? Can't wait to see you in Fuji.

Hey Billy and Sierra as y'all are experiencing y'all are in one of the most awesome areas of the United States the mountain range in the background that you see that big mountain is Mount Rainier if you want to learn more about the whole General area that you were in there is a movie and sitcom that you can KZread it's called Seven Brides for Seven Brothers Indy's episodes in in the movie you will learn a lot about the history and the folklore it is so awesome there's so much more for you to learn about that area and then it'll be jumping from number two to number one and the most beautiful places that y'all have cruised in

The wedding was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Where was Jetty during the wedding? I say you can take as long a shower as you want. Happy wife happy life, you should have learned that a long time ago Billy 😁😊🤣🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍

We had a garage sale last summer and a family emergency happened during the sale. So we decided to try the honor system while we were away. When we got back the next morning, everything was gone and the money too. But someone was nice enough to leave us a giant pile of trash, full of diapers. And none of the neighbors saw a thing, although I've seen some of them wearing my old clothes :-)

Great vlog guys! , one thing I see more often than not is people with dogs always have them on a lead , even when in open countryside, why do you ? Just interested as I have 2 dogs and once away from an urban areas they run free . Keep up the good work 👍

😍

You guys are so cute!

How about some gear with a cat and orcas. Your subs from the North West would jump all over those!!! Excellent representation of a day in the San Juan's.

Great episode! Congrats on your wedding! stay safe and have fun! 👍👍👊👊⛵⛵

so have you guys adjusted to calling each other husband/wife yet? I remember for the first few months after my wife and I got married it was so weird referring to her as my "wife". Congrats again guys, super happy for you both!

Out of the Port of Seattle itself back in the early to late 1800s

Want shell fish? Copville Wa.where they grow them.

When you guys make your way south, give a shout out when close to Oxnard, Channel Islands, Ca. We'll join you for a sail and a surf....

Sick. It’s #TulaTime LOL

Sierra mentioned that you'll probably have the same watermaker on your new boat as you had on Adrenalin, because it was a good fit. What brand and rate watermaker did you have?

The Steaks & Corn smelled so Scrump-Dilly-Isious! Well I almost caught that aroma,I'm 99.9% Blood Hound here N Indiana. I'm sure it was Great!

Braised Brussels Sprouts Ingredients: Olive or Avocado oil 1 Lb Brussels Sprouts 1 Yellow Onion 3-4 Garlic cloves 1/4 Cup Water Directions: In a covered skillet, apply just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Depending on the size of your pan you might use one or two tablespoons of oil. Slice the Brussels Sprouts in half along their length. Lay the sliced sprouts flat side down on the oil. Rough dice a yellow onion. Spread it over the sprouts. Peel and press the garlic on top of the sprouts and onions. Add salt and pepper to taste. Apply medium heat and saute until the bottom of the sprouts turn golden brown. About five minutes. Don’t over do it. Add the water and secure a tight fitting lid. Turn the heat to low. Do not remove the cover. In about five minutes check to see if the sprouts are tender. Do not over cook. Remove from the heat, remove the lid, and stir to distribute the garlic and onions. Spread them out in a layer on the bottom of the pan to cool. Enjoy.

I just realized Sierra is a Southpaw!

Hiii,Hii guys, from Habana Cuba 🇨🇺🙌👍😉,,, colllllllll ✌️🤪 as usual👌👍⛵🌬️🌊🌏🤙🤪

new husband in bed as intro.... lol🤟

My backyard

Jetty's looking like, "I have to go leave some oatmeal and liquid" dad.

Hey lefty.... flip that fork when you take your bite. My pops was Airforce and I got smacked more times than I can remember for doing that and elbows on the table.

I know that you get this question a lot, but where did you get Jetties back pack?

Sierra you are NOT long winded! You in my opinion don't talk enough. Billy you are not long winded either.

When is your new boat coming?

Bro for a second I thought it was San Juan del sur Nicaragua lol.

I’m wondering why that Wabasto heater is set to run for only an hour. I would get tired of that real quick. I’m a trucker and the bunk heaters we use are very similar but the timer is set to 10 hours.

Not that you asked for it, but happy marriage guidance (two muay-thai / MMA people who like to fight married 30 years), besides lots of nookie: 1: don't kiss me before you brush your teeth. 2: bathroom time is 100% individual. 3: eat together when possible. 4: shut up. 5: keep doing the things that attracted you to each other. 6: do something individual once in a while. 7: make your partner's wake-up beverage if you get up first. 8: be first to clean something or take out garbage - never get asked. 9: romantic gifts at random, but not everyday (don't be cheesy) ....that is an essay itself, you can figure it out. 10:: review the previous items and add your own. And yes, the "freecycle" concept is all over the pacific northwest.

Attention Billy and Sierra with y'all skills when it comes to boats y'all can make a whole lot of money out there I mean a whole lot
