John,
I know Mike speaks from personal experience.
I've had the pleasure of sailing the San Juans and CC
Bay. If scheduling permits, I may be able to hook up
with you in the San Juans AND on CC Bay. I'll put M17
316B in the water at CC Bay, but you can expect to see
me in a 32' Buccanneer in the San Juans. Tides,
currents, whirlpools, rip tides, ... all make
Deception Pass a bit too tricky for me in a 17 footer.
See

While the San Juans aren't mentioned, they certainly
should be!
Dan
M17 316B
