Sailing the Inside Passage to Alaska. A Practical Guide to Sailing the Inside Passage. By Robb Keystone.
Every now and then I want to get a sailboat and get away from it all. With COVID, I thought I'd read up on the topic. While sailing still looks enjoyable, These two books cured me of the urge to sell the house and start sailing.
Sailing from Seattle to Mexico, and back, has been described as sailing uphill both ways. The winds constantly blow to the east, so going is slow. Most ports have extensive sand barges by them, so you have to time your landings well. The weather can be bad, so you may get stuck at a port of days.
When you sail to Alaska, the winds can be low. You will probably spend 40% of your time powered by gas and not wind.
