Peril Strait, Sergius Narrows, north of Sitka, in November. How much more do you need to know to be sure to be careful about when you make that passage. The current runs about 6 - 8 knots, through a narrow channel, according to the tide tables. Richard describes his careful timing of Issuma's passage. He didn't want to make that run when the # 8 buoy laid over like the picture above. Of course the weather did not cooperate. He got the tide right but had to pass through the narrows in a snow storm and strong wind. Tough enough as we see in this picture below which he took as they passed #8 Nun which marks a ledge.
