On the size of boat you are proposing there is one specific stretch of water to be concerned about: Salish Sea and Inside Passage (WA/BC/AK). The danger here is logs. Think floating telephone poles. In May/June certain stretches of the IP are rife with them, particularly Johnstone Strait and the various passages north of that. Not to be taken lightly. I’ve gotten through Johnstone in certain tides and was surprised by the sheer number of them in sight at one time.
