As an alternative to Danelle's route, we trailered our boat (a 15' Potter at the time) from California to the terminal just north of Pt. Roberts, ferried to Vancouver Island and camped and hoteled up the island, ferried from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, and drove the wonderful loop from Prince Rupert to Stewart BC/Hyder Alaska. We sailed some lakes and the upper Portland Canal (the latter an invigorating experience), but it would be wonderful to put in at Hyder and sail down the 90 mile Fjord to the inland passage, thence up to Ketchikan. Take a crab trap for the Dungeness.

Hi,
This would be great! We live in Ketchikan, and have driven between Seattle and Prince Rupert then ferry to Ketchikan, and the reverse, countless times. I'd love to see your boat, - I've never seen another M17 besides mine. Feel free to ask questions about the drive, the ferry, and Ketchikan!

My wife and I are thinking about trailoring our M17 from Seattle to Ketchikan some time this spring. I know it is a long drive, but we haven't been on a decent road trip in a long time.
Anyway, I would like to get any advice or opinions you guys may have. We were thinking of going some time in May.
