Hi guys, when I sailed it was around the gulf islands, then south to San Juan islands, a different trip was to costa .rica, Panama Canal and then through out the Carrib. When I went up thru the inland passage I was on a fishing boat. Very small 34' ,quill netting - and oh wow, that tops everything in my heart and mind, so so beautiful, tranquil,, nothing in the world like the inland passage. Oh, I took one trip on the outside of Van Island , that was pretty wild. To me the inside passage is about as close as you get to perfection! Thanks for asking!
