Jeff, one more thing.

Sailing north up the west coast is nobody's favorite; you'll be beating most
of the time. Cruising friends who've sailed from here to Baja typically do
one of two things heading back north. They truck the boat home, or they
reach westward almost to Hawaii, and then reach eastward to Juan de Fuca
Strait and Seatlle. (The latter option sidesteps, of course, the lack of
safe harbors.)

Meant to say that in the earlier note.

So how tough is it to go from Mobile, through the Panama Canal and up the
west coast to Seattle? Are there lots of places to hide from bad weather
or do you have to have a very seaworthy boat.

Usually true, but it's hard to predict.. had a friend who did the Baja bash
with no problems and easy sailing the whole way.
