One...Hi Sail4th,<br /><br />True, but what fun is that?? 8)<br /><br />One of the issues is that alternative routes are even more fraught. Sergius Narrows, for example, connects the inside waters to the outside, including the city of Sitka. To avoid the narrows, one can sail around the S end of Baranof Island and back up (a treacherous passage exposed to the open Gulf) or N around Chichagof and down... arguably worse narrows and another exposed passage. So if you come or go from Sitka, Sergius is the lesser of 'evils'.<br /><br />Lat 57degN is another SE division separating the N from S halves, roughly speaking. From east to west, options are Dry Straits, Wrangell Narrows, Rocky Pass, Chatham-S Kiuiu - Sumner or outer Baranof (open exposure). Three of those are narrows, and the other two are very exposed.<br /><br />Name your poison! 8)<br /><br />Dave ZDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-15877272982112475762022-04-11T22:11:47.523-08:002022-04-11T22:11:47.523-08:00Then again, there's "don't go at all,...Then again, there's "don't go at all," as an option.Sail4thhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757446159295740362noreply@blogger.com
