Intersting article! Surely Deception pass is not in the same class as the Maelstrom. It is impressive what an underwater ledge can do to surface water with even a 1 - 3 kt current. Doug "Seas the Day" --- Dan White <danwhite@austin.rr.com> wrote:
John,
I know Mike speaks from personal experience.
I've had the pleasure of sailing the San Juans and CC Bay. If scheduling permits, I may be able to hook up with you in the San Juans AND on CC Bay. I'll put M17 316B in the water at CC Bay, but you can expect to see me in a 32' Buccanneer in the San Juans. Tides, currents, whirlpools, rip tides, ... all make Deception Pass a bit too tricky for me in a 17 footer. See

While the San Juans aren't mentioned, they certainly should be!
