Some “Mental Giant” thought it was a good idea to tow a float home through Porlier Pass during 6 kts of flood! Needless to say it was not successful.
At 55 seconds in you can see “The Boat” that was used to attempt this Herculean feat.

I’ve gone through Porlier several times and it’s my least desirable choice to enter the inside areas of the Gulf Isles. Reefs all over the place and the tide can set you onto the rocks quite easily.
30 kts of wind today will hammer that home into kindling on those rocks.
