Uphill from Portland, OR to San Juan Islands

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to locate information about sailing from Portland Oregon upto the San Juan Islands.

My wife and I have been sailing with some family friends up at my parents place outside of Friday Harbor and we have caught the bug. We have been looking at boats this year trying to find the right set up for our family. We've decided that the Catalina 30 has the size and amenities that our family requires.

The only concern that I have is that I will want to be able to go up to my Mom and Dad's with the boat. I live and work in Portland and obvioulsy want to enjoy the boat through the sailing season down here. But I know that I want to take it up to the San Juans for vacations and the like.

Could anyone tell me about thier experiences sailing uphill to the Sound? Does anyone have concerns about the Catalina making the voyage? I know that my experience level will need to rise significantly before I would head up there with the boat, but I don't want to purchase a boat that doesn't meet the needs of our family, just to have to buy another one in a few years that is able to make the trip.

Thanks everyone in advance.
