Strange reply. San Juan's, Gulf islands and inside passage are
generally considered, along with the south pacific, to be some of the
finest cruising in the world.

I lived there for a year in the early 70's and I would say that it is
equal to or better than Maine for scenery. What it doesn't have, unless
the weather patterns have changed, is wind. That brisk southwester
that comes up most summer afternoons in Maine is one of the things that
makes it a sailor's paradise.

Plenty of westerlies in the straits but not much in the islands.
