Been working on my boat for a couple years preparing it for the San Juan Islands I'm based in Cathlamet Washington plan it on sailing to the r2ak next year and was going to leave my boat for a small portion of time but your video has made me reconsider my channel is called Santana 28 restoration and sailing I hope everything gets back in order for your boats and I think if you would have spread the resin on on that vertical surface then installed the fabric then wiped it wet
Ya, the Puget Sound can be safe but it has been particularly bad in recent years. Just about every major bay has a predator looking for vacant boats now. Agreed on the vertical fiberglassing 😅 live and learn. I will check out your channel!
That's insane, hope your buddy is able to move his boat somewhere safe. Can't believe law enforcement wouldn't help out. That seal is more like your spirit animal than your thesis animal lol. Hope the kids are doing well!
It was ya! I will have a sequel to this in January, we got some movement from Parks but the police want nothing to do with it. Yes very true! Love the seals 🦭 Kids are just about ready to leave the hospital! So yes! 🎉
You should never leave a boat on anchor anywhere. That being said, there is a huge problem with thieves on the water in WA right now. I will have to keep an eye out next time I go through there. On a happier note, I sailed to Alaska last spring/summer, it was an amazing trip, you are going to love it.
Congratulations! That is a trip I have ALWAYS wanted to do, quite the achievement as well. I completely agree with you, although on Scott’s trip home he ended up breaking his neck and didn’t have much of a choice than to leave them for a bit, and ya, there are people out there looking for empty boats all over Wa.
This is so upsetting! I hope someone who is an expert in law can help guide you on how to escalate this. Perhaps this is an issue for the FBI? Seems like some pretty serious organized crime. I'd also encourage you to contact local politicians and the news.
I think the best thing he can do is get a lawyer. This is over $100k worth of damages but law enforcement is playing tag with whose jurisdiction it actually is. It’ll take so much work from Scott to separate out what happened and where, while Parks are still allowing the other guy to continue destroying evidence. Such a complex situation.
Scott reported the cement boat stollen and the coasties would have stopped it if they saw it leaving the State, but the pirate didn’t get far before Scott found it at the State Park.
You people are hilarious. Defund police. They hurt criminals. I can't imagine why crime is taking over. Leftist hate police and love criminals. That explains your new love for the FBI. Thier prosecution of crime aligns with your political views.
Law enforcement in the area seems to work together with the pirates. I think it's really a case for FBI. More than high time to proof that there's some difference beteween Haiti in the Caribbean and the US / Canada.
@projectseawolf I have a mountain lake state boat launch in my front yard not far from Anacortes. I got the fishing rules changed from bait fishing to fly fishing to try to avoid the criminal element that comes with state level recreational sites. It is the state game wardens that should be the first responders to crimes along with the county/tribal LEOs, yet there are only a handful of game wardens in this area of the state. State managed lands and waters are largely lawless due to the state not wanting to take full legal responsibility for running public rec sites but also want all authority. Stay safe on your journey.
No not a collaboration. But law enforcement does have issues with any boats on anchor and left unattended. And it is tricky to enforce local waters (otherwise we’d see less unattended anchored boats 😂) If you anchor your boat stay on your boat.
@projectseawolf I'm going to keep watching your channel. I rarely sub to any channels with similar content as my own (since I'm already doing it) ;) but I like your style man. Q: what would happen if someone was sleeping on their boat, pirates rolled up to do harm, and they got a gun in the face? That's the real solution here. I'm doing the river side of the great loop currently, and everyone is packing here.
I find this situation outrageous, basically they are holding hostage your boat as well looting it. Law enforcement could easily investigate and remove said pirates from the area. I have seen at some marinas, signs where you call for suspicious activity or emergency to proper authorities. If something isn't done, it will get worse.
It is outrageous, I don’t know what I’m missing here. The authorities have shown no interest in this and I’ve approached them in the most respectful and understanding ways and still nothing. It does get worse in next week’s episode, basically Scott had to climb in and out of his looted boat with the park ranger watching him struggle while the stairs to the boat are sitting in the back of the pirates truck in the parking lot. It’s amazing in the worst way.
Derelict boats are a huge problem in Puget Sound. Every boat owner pays fees to the state every year to deal with sunken or abandoned boats. You guys are not getting much response from the authorities because they probably think you guys, along with the pirates, are part of the problem. Get your boats running and insured.
@projectseawolf thanks for the video and sorry to hear about your troubles I think you need to take this to the fbi this is corruption not just a few thugs but thanks for the reply and genuinely sorry for your predicament "Who shall guard us from the guards" Suetonius
I'm kind of confused. Why would you pay them off? Tell them to go pound sand. I also don't understand the accusations the Park Rangers on cahoots with them I am sure most Park Rangers are not going to risk their government jobs to help some thieves.
But everything on your wish list was insured to 110% of "replacement value", wasn´t it guy? What do you mean you aren´t sure what I´m talking about? It´s the source of all of your problems.
Yeah pay out for insurance they are the biggest pirates of them all and what's 110% do you think you would ever get a bit more you would be lucky to get anything
Glad someone finally brought up the Donkey in the room. Don’t vote for the party that defunds the police and is soft on crime then complain about lack of law enforcement. You might be able to get the FBI involved if you claimed the perpetrators were cis white Christian men with red hats. You reap what you sow. 😢
