I don’t have much sympathy. The Vikings figures this stuff out a thousand years ago, and sailed across the Atlantic and to the Black Sea.
It’s not rocket science, keeping a boat afloat and off the rocks.

Given the shallow draft of knarrs they might have been better off
That channel is marked....they hit the underwater shoals from old jetties is my guess
Over 100 commercial fisherman use that pass
And a big fleet of man o wars too for charter
It’s an easy pass to be honest
Imagine they were in Hawk Channel at night after revelry on Duvall
