Whenever I race up the coast, we always have to watch for crab pots. I seem to recall that there was a line of pots around 200' water depth, but they could be almost anywhere. You can motor up the coast, within a mile of shore. Stay outside of Destruction Island, Umatilla Reef and Cape Flattery. I'd recommend motoring until you get to Neah Bay, unless you're lucky enough to get a southerly. The further out you go, the greater the adverse current. Check Columbia River Bar conditions, and cross the bar at high slack. You'll have to leave the West Mooring Basin around two or three hours earlier.
