My buddies and I aspire to sail around Vancouver Island, but it's stuff like this that scares me.
- worik 4y agoIn the open ocean these are terrifying and why you must always be vigilant. But it is close to land where they are deadly The bottom may be exposed by the trough They may crest breaking over your boat smashing it In confined waters maintaining heading may not be possible, which is critical
- pclark 4y agoI'd probably be more wary of logs in the water than freak waves
- dieselgate 4y agoI sail in the area and would be more worried about shipping traffic and submerged/lost trees or shipping containers. Hope you all get to make the trip someday, on my list as well
- glonq 4y agoOof, we have already bonked into enough lumber in poor visibility. Hoping that if we keep X miles offshore there's fewer logs. I've been petitioning for a bow- or mast-mounted camera for spotting debris.
