From Gordon's I went out as far as I could once on a typical 25 + knot thermal day and the wind petered out once I was about 20 km (??) or so over. It definitely wasn't blowing all the way. But many times in Port A there was lots of wind so I guess the suggestion is to check both sides for wind before leaving and a chase boat doesn't hurt. And how do you deal with Customs and especially Homeland Security you drug runner you. Have fun!
curses - foiled again!
Better yet, lets have an international Kite Race!
Back in the olden days, when people windsurfed, this was an annual event.

Granted this was pre-911, but there should be a way to satisfy customs / coast guard concerns.
I would be thrilled to participate !

logistics alone you'd have to have many things align to make it happen!
we are planning a downwinder from gordons to clover point one day.. maybe you could join us then!
as for the 'sailing' across you need to land at a port of entry which is port townsend.. unless you're on the COHO...
it would be a pretty sweet trip! chase boat recommended fo'sure
