That 800 NM to Seattle could take longer to sail than the 4300 NM via Hawaii!
Bashing into the current, wind, and ocean swell for days or weeks, waiting for the weather to improve in a harbor of refuge, or staying out in crappy conditions because the bar is closed is not the way to protect a marriage or keep a crew onboard. Gear failure from these harsh conditions is also possible.
There has been way too many boats lost or crew injured, on this coast, to not take the advice of those who have sailed in these waters lightly.
Sail safe and have fun
