Our strategy at La Conner to avoid the remanants of that hurricane in September 2011-- nestle ourselves between large boats. Can you find us? O.K. -- we were dwarfed by larger boats, but bigger is not better -- only bigger. The boat in front us was owned by a wonderful couple, and afforded their entire family plenty of room. However, their engine was not powerful enough to make it through Deception pass against the tide like we can. We can go anywhere. There is a niche for everyone in boating. We like having some of the conveniences of a large boat, but the power to take us just about anywhere safely (within reason), superior fuel economy, and shallow draft operation to navigate our rivers and gunkholes on the East Coast.
