Outstanding value and fascinating narration.
A perfect hour with the weather and with the live narration by the gentleman named Kippy(?). A real eye opening experience to see and hear about the harbor region. We've lived in Washington for seven decades now and finally appreciate it more because of this boat ride. P.S., please correct his name as I'm probably not accurate with it. Sam and Joan Smith Yakima
