Steve: What is your itinerary? When and where?
Just curious.

"a good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving" Lao Tzu

That said, (my brother and myself) will be leaving the Puget Sound area
about May 25th, heading for the San Juan Is., then over to clear-in at So.
Pender Is.. I want to stop at Nanaimo to say Hi! to Tom and the gang there
(maybe pic up another crew member). Another 1-2 weeks to make it to Port
Hardy. Wait and watch the weather before entering the Queen Charlotte Sound
(open water). Enter the protected passages at Calvert Is. Explore some of
the back waters along the way (Bella Coola, Gardner Canal, Kitinat,
Greenville Chan., etc). I expect to arrive at Juneau by the first week of
July, with a visit to Tracy Arm either going up or coming back. I don't plan
to go to Glacier Bay (nor play dodge the cruise ships, there). I want to
stop at Ketchikan either on the way up or coming back.. (Sorry Bruce, not
going over your way).

As you can see my itinerary is rather loose, as I like it. I'm not sure what
my 'daily runs' will be. I plan to utilize the tidal currents as much as
possible. Around here, is possible to pick up 3 to 5 knots in the narrow
passes, for the duration of the peak run. Well worth the investment in the
fine tide/current books available for the BC waters.
