Starting to plan a cruise into the San Juans for next summer on a P19. I'm
interested in the experiences of other Potterers in these waters. Since I
will start somewhere in the south sound, I'm particularly interested in pros
and cons regarding the three alternative routes to Rosario straits; (1)
across the strait of Juan DeFuca along the west coast of Whidby Island, (2)
through Deception pass and (3) up the Swinomish channel. Finally, I'm also
interested in public boat launch ramps on the Kitsap Pennisula from Gig
Harbor to port Townsend. The further north I haul it, the closer I am to the
sailing I want to do.

Thanks for any and all help.
