VANCOUVER TO SAN FRANCISCO: Our route in detail

For those interested, here is a detailed graphic of our route from Neah Bay to San Francisco.

Pelagia's route (September, 2013)

(If anyone is interested, we can send a gpx or kmz file.)


In retrospect, if we were to do this again, we would stay within 40-60 nm offshore (as we did on SV Sapphire in 2012):

• winds within 60nm of shore were significantly less than we experienced (while we experienced 35 knot winds, closer to shore winds were 20-25 knots)
• <60nm is far enough out to be away from fishing fleets and traffic, but close enough to head in to harbour should a major blow (such as we experienced) be predicted
