In the wonderful cruising guide, "Charlie's Charts: North to Alaska", co-author Margo Wood provides a fitting description of the Inside Passage, the spectacular cruising route for the Grand Tour event:
"Blessed with an abundance of harbors, magnificent scenery, fascinating cultures and colorful history, this region vies for the title of the greatest cruising area in the world. It is so indented with coves, fjords and inlets, and sprinkled with islands, that 1,000 miles of linear distance contain over 25,000 miles of coastline. There are few other places where inland passages can be followed for hundreds of miles, and where the sea's bounty can be harvested so readily in all its variety. Beauty alone can commend a visit, but its clean air and waters, and the friendly people in the small towns and villages are equally inviting."
Nowhere in North America are there so many wonderful adventures - wild, rustic and civilized alike - so easily accessible by sea. The Inside Passage gives boaters an unparalleled taste of coastal cruising, through channel after stunning channel, mile after dazzling mile, each point or cape revealing yet another astonishing view.
