Hello.

I may be aquiring a new Ketch (wooden...details later). It's in Bellingham Washington...I'm in San Diego California. I've been sailing 6 years and can single hand my Angelman Sea Spirit (gaff rigged woodie) to and from Catalina pretty easily and have decent navigation skills; but that's the extent of my experience. I will be travelling with one or two others (possibly one with sailing experience). ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME!!!!!! Planning to do this in Aug/Sept.

FYI. Three years ago visited WA.....my one and only visit in August. Beautiful day on Ferry to Victoria from Port Angeles.....THE STRAIGHT OF JUAN DE FUCA....looks rather ...serious...major short interval wind swell and 30-50 kts. wind...depending on time-o-day
