Transportation Tips 1.

Option A - Fly to Bellingham airport (BLI) via Delta, Horizon, or Allegiant Air. Both Delta and Horizon offer connections from other major airlines. Then taxi (approx. $15) from airport to San Juan Sailing. 2.

Option B - Fly to SEA/TAC airport in Seattle (SEA), rent a car (both Hertz and Avis have a one-day, one-way, no-drop-off-charge) and drive (100 miles) to San Juan Sailing. Return the car to the Bellingham Airport before your charter starts and take a taxi back to SJS (approx. $15). Advantage: You’ll have a car for easy provisioning

The Strait of Juan de Fuca (officially named Juan de Fuca Strait in Canada is a large body of water about 95 miles (153 km) long that is the Salish Sea 's outlet to the Pacific Ocean . The international boundary between Canada and the United States runs down the center of the Strait.

It was named in 1787 by the maritime fur trader Charles William Barkley captain of the Imperial Eagle , for Juan de Fuca the Greek navigator who sailed in a Spanish expedition in 1592 to seek the fabled Strait of Anián . Barkley was the first non-indigenous person to find the strait, unless Juan de Fuca's story was true. The strait was explored in detail between 1789 and 1791 by Manuel Quimper , José María Narváez , Juan Carrasco , Gonzalo López de Haro . Some scenes from the movie " The hunt for Red October" were filmed here.

I wanted to put together a crew to sail in the strait among the wildlife, natural forests and pristine waters. Much to see in this wonderful area between Washington and Canada.
