What bothered me was that our waitress looked like they were wearing pajamas. She had on flip-flops, a tank top, and biker/yoga tight shorts and their long hair was down. Didn't seem very professional. Carrying plates of food with hair down is unsafe as hair can easily shed and get onto the plates. Also seemed unsafe to carry plates and glassware (without or without beverages) up and down the stairs in flip-flops. Even at beach bars and restaurants in Mexico etc. the waiters wear closed-toed shoes. We also didn't see her after taking our order; we had to go up to the bar (and a different waitress) to ask for more water and a second round of drinks.

I'm so glad I found No Worries and Captain Lorenzo. We really lucked out! Captain Lorenzo met us down in Port Orchard early in the morning. He was on time (or early, either way, he was there before us!) and had the boat ready to go when we arrived at the launch. He even met me at my car to help us unload our bags and show us the best parking spot. My parents and I brought snacks but No Worries Fishing Charters provided everything else - the license, the bait and tackle, even bottled drinking water. Captain Lorenzo and his first mate Noah helped us onto the boat and were patient as my mom climbed on with her bum knee. This small boat is ideal for 3-4 passengers plus two crew and a very personalized trip. This is not like some charters or party boats where there are hundreds of passengers. As we sailed out through Agate Pass, Captain Lorenzo pointed out some sites and explained what we were seeing. My parents loved getting a little tour of the area! Not to give away our super-secret fishing spot, but we ended up fishing near the Kingston area. Later, throughout the day we learned more about Captain as he kept us entertained and informed, telling us about how he grew up and spent his whole career on all different types of boats. My dad said that some fishing charter captains sit back and read a newspaper like "I got you here, you do the fishing." Not No Worries! Captain Lorenzo and Noah kept busy the whole time - reading the fish finder, checking the lines, cutting bait. They were working hard to make sure we had the best fishing experience. One cool thing is that you could definitely get as involved or take it easy however you want. For example, my dad had a lot of questions - what lure are you using, how does the downrigger work, what do you usually catch, how long have you been doing this... my mom was pretty happy to sit in the boat and wait for the Captain to say, "Looks like we got something! Do you want to come reel one in?" I thought it was awesome that Lorenzo and Noah catered to both - answering my dad's questions and matching his enthusiasm, and keeping my mom involved. We didn't catch a whole lot of keepers (I caught the biggest silver or coho, of course, not that it's a competition...) but we saw action all day and had a great day out on the water. Truly, the father-daughter bonding time is the highlight, right? Well, that and the salmon dinner. At the end of the fishing day, Captain cleaned and fileted our catch and bagged it for us, ready for our cooler and, later, our grill! It was nice that we didn't have to get our hands too dirty. Overall we had a great day and I would definitely recommend No Worries Fishing Charter to anyone looking to get on the water. My whole family was truly impressed! Thank you Captain Lorenzo for making our day so memorable!

My husband and I just completed a wonderful day of Lingcod fishing with 'No Worries Fishing…read moreCharters'. It wasn't a successful fishing day for any of the boats in our area (Blake Island) but it wasn't for a lack of trying. We did catch plenty of rock cod which I still found exciting. We have booked private charters before, and both my husband and I were very impressed with how organized and committed our guide was. I was not great at keeping from snagging my line on the bottom and losing lures, but there was always a back up rod prepared and ready for the water while my previous rod was having a new lure tied on to it. The boat was clean and well organized, and I was relieved to learn there is a private toilet area in the front. Our kind guide was generous with his time offering to continue fishing after our six hour session was up because he genuinely felt bad that the fish weren't biting today. We are grateful to have made contact with this charter and will give it another try when salmon season begins.

Port Townsend has a similar marine thrift and it is WAY better! Used means no more than 40% of "new" cost.

I've been here once via the Argosy and once via private boat. Its a pretty big island with lots of…read morehiking trails and a great place to go camping. I've attended the dinner show before too and found it to be moderately entertaining, but pricey and not the best for vegetarians. I hope to try running the trails on my next visit. Since I don't own a boat personally I might try taking the argosy over and camping on my own sometime in the future, which does seem like it might be an easy way to get in a sort of back packing type trip if you camp on the opposite side of the island from where it docks. Seems like lots of people camping here enjoy crabbing which can be done off the shore with pots. I love the idea of being able to camp on an island, although it is a challenge to have to get all your supplies to shore without getting too wet. I don't really like having to step in the water and I saw a small snake in the driftwood and I am terrified of snakes. There are also a large amount of raccoons which were not too bothersome. I do enjoy that you don't have to pack out your trash, and there are bathrooms available. Some of the bathrooms even have pay showers, which were surprisingly warm and nice after a few days of being on an island. It does seem like the rangers are constantly coming by, they do provide some helpful information but it does start to feel intrusive after awhile. In case you were wondering it is not okay to take your beer with you to the bathroom.

A few minutes drive off of 101 in Brinnon, WA you'll find Rocky Brook Falls. Across the street are a few parking spots, but beware that side is private property and there are a bunch of no trespassing signs. The entrance to the trail was not obvious to me. So I took some photos showing the path. But it's a short walk to the falls, which by the way, was a lot larger than I thought it would be! You will have to climb over some boulders to access the pool at the base of the falls, so just be aware of that. I came on a summer weekday, so there was only another couple with their dog there. You practically had the place to yourself! It has been one of the dryer summers, so I imagine after a good rainfall, the falls would be roaring and serene. Also note, there are no bathroom facilities and no cell service in the immediate area.
