I’m planning to bring a 50’ Navigator from Seattle to San Francisco the end of May. Avg speed 10 – 15 kts. I would be interesting in hearing from someone that has made that trip before, tips, recommendations and such. I do have a couple of specific questions;

1)Best time (Ebb, Slack, Flood) to go out the Strait of Juan de Fuca into the Pacific? Very thing I’ve read states Slack.
2)How far offshore should you travel for the calmest seas? I have heard, follow the 40 fathoms line down the coast?
