| Chart of Higgins Pass |
Higgins Pass seperates Swindle Island and Pryce Island and when weather is not settled, it cuts about 30 miles off of your trip south. We have gone through this pass before and found that if you are patient and wait for half tide (Halfway to high tide) - there is plenty of water for us to pass through. Where I have the chart circled is the only real problem point and at half tide, we had 6.5 feet of water under us. Our boat needs 3.5 feet to keep floating. At low tide, its probably a good place to get clams as its sandy and dries up quite nicely! This little bit of tension goes along way versus lumping it out in lousy seas.
