Have to be very careful here. I have sailed through there four times now
on a 100 foot schooner and thought, no wonder we don't take kayaking
clients in here. (Through the passage between the south end of  Lopez and
San Juan). The
standing waves and rips were enormous. I'd suggest if you are going
through there, to do it during the turning of slack towards whatever
benefit you need (flood or ebb).....
