I blundered into the Strait of Juan De Fuca from San Juan Chanel on an ebb tide running into a west wind. This stacked up 8 foot seas which then combined with the confused seas brought on by the ebb tide draining Haro Strait, San Juan Chanel, Rosario Strait, Deception Pass and Admiralty Inlet. Oh, and I should also mention that a nice layer of fog set in. Thankfully my buddy had radar on his boat and I tried to stay a wave behind him and in radio contact as we were now in the shipping lane. When I found my boat surfing down the face of a wave while my buddy was climbing out of the trough I was forced to put another wave between us.


As Apophyge said " Mostly I just want to stay out of bad weather, it's not fun for me."
