(pic) (Doug C.) Good thing you were in Gonzaga when it hit. Anywhere else on that journey would have been brutal. I think the Northern gulf is to be avoided in general. Big tides create big currents, and when the strong winds oppose the currents watch out. Plus there are very limited anchorages to seek refuge. Come down to San Carlos and you'll have a much better go of it.
