Highlights of kayaking and camping trip to Blake Island Marine State Park in Washington State, with video in 4K UHD with stunning drone aerials, see full video, and several key highlights at the timestamps. This is one of our favorite kayaking destinations in the Pacific Northwest, and is just a couple of hours drive from Seattle.
