Drops in the Ocean

We’re Derek and Sarah, and we decided life’s too short to wait for the “perfect time.” So we bought a fixer‑upper beach house on Hood Canal and a Ranger Tug we’re learning to run one adventure at a time. We’re not experts—just two people who love the outdoors, walking the beach, spotting wildlife, crabbing, fishing, and exploring the beautiful world God created. On this channel, we’re sharing the real journey: rebuilding our dream retirement home, learning our boat (with plenty of mistakes), tackling renovations, upgrading gear, and discovering life on the water. If you’ve ever dreamed of trying something new or stepping into a life that feels exciting and a little scary, we hope our story inspires you to take the leap. Welcome to our adventure. Welcome to the canal.
