Celebrate American Adventures Month on this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Diva Saturday” with travel writer Linda Kissam, the “Food, Wine & Shopping Diva.” Linda joins us to share her recent private boating experience in Washington’s Roche Harbor, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic marine destinations.
This fun and insightful conversation highlights Roche Harbor’s unique local culture, from famous donuts and fresh fish dishes to scenic sculpture parks, historic gardens and trails, boutique shopping, and relaxing spa experiences. Linda also describes traditions like the nightly cannon ceremony that fosters a strong sense of community on the island.
We also explore the realities of boating life—navigating marina costs, docking reservations, waste and water management, and the growing role of technology like Starlink and electric carts. For anyone dreaming of coastal cruising or planning a water-based getaway, this episode is packed with practical tips and delightful travel insights.
