Исследование острова Хат-Айленд

What was supposed to be a simple run from Winslow to La Conner turned into something completely different when the weather forced us onto Hat Island (Gedney Island) — a private island most boaters sail right past.No public dock. No stores. No car ferry. Just 260 families, a desalination plant that turns seawater into drinking water, free-roaming dogs, a nine-hole golf course, and a 150-year-old unsolved murder with buried treasure still missing.Then things got interesting: our Dutch canal boat, Halve Maan II, started taking on water through the dripless shaft seal… and we ended up high-centered in the mud on a falling minus tide.This is the full story of how we discovered Hat Island, fixed a leaking seal the hard way, ran aground in Coupeville, and finally made it to La Conner — all aboard an oddball steel canal boat that was never meant for these waters. visit us at: www.DutchBoatAdventures.com 00:00 – Opening: Spray, dust devil & high-centered in the mud 00:33 – Meet Halve Maan II 00:49 – Weather forces us to change plans 02:20 – First look at Hat Island 04:02 – Why Hat Island is different 06:13 – The island that makes its own water 06:41 – History, landslide & the Amistad connection 07:33 – French Peter’s unsolved murder & missing treasure 08:06 – Can you actually visit Hat Island? 08:43 – The boat starts taking on water 10:01 – High-centered in Coupeville 12:07 – Historic Coupeville Wharf & Penn Cove mussels 14:17 – Calm run to La Conner 15:33 – Rainbow Bridge & Swinomish Channel 16:46 – Meeting an Elling E4 (and a puppy) 17:54 – Exploring La Conner 20:41 – Pepper joins the crew This is Port to Port.If you enjoy real boat adventures, oddball vessels, and discovering places most people never see — hit subscribe.
