"Tacking" ,:beating to windward ,with wind over one side of boat,then the other.I wasn't talking about from Hawaii,I meant from San Fran.It would be roughly 1500 miles.I have sailed from Hawaii to B.C.(2600 mi.) in July,first due North on a starboard"tack", until about 40 Deg. N,then a port "tack" all the way into JDF. and know that if you reach that waypoint ,you will make Juan De Fuca.I think it coincides roughly with the clipper route.
