El Pasaje Interior (Inside Passage) enhebra estrechos y fiordos abrigados desde Puget Sound, por las islas San Juan, el estrecho de Georgia, el estrecho de Johnstone y el estrecho de la Reina Carlota en la Columbia Británica, hasta el sudeste de Alaska, y termina hacia Skagway y Haines. De Seattle a Ketchikan hay unas 650-660 millas náuticas, de ellas unas 520 en la Columbia Británica.
Se suele navegar de mayo a septiembre: un mes para ir y volver, o varios meses para explorarlo como se merece. Casi todos los barcos se organizan según las mareas y pasan Dodd Narrows, Active Pass y Seymour Narrows con el repunte. Hay fondeaderos a menudo, y suelen ser profundos; en la frontera hay que hacer los trámites de aduana de Canadá y de Estados Unidos.
La fauna y el paisaje son el gran reclamo: orcas, ballenas jorobadas, osos y glaciares. Las dificultades son las fuertes mareas semidiurnas, corrientes de hasta unos 16 nudos en Seymour Narrows, un tiempo imprevisible, la niebla, los troncos semihundidos y los fondeaderos profundos. El tramo abierto alrededor del cabo Caution añade mar de fondo y exposición.
Lo más destacado
- Las islas San Juan
- Desolation Sound
- Las orcas del estrecho de Johnstone
- La selva del Gran Oso (Great Bear Rainforest)
- La bahía de los Glaciares y la región de Juneau
Cuidado con
- Pasar los estrechos con el repunte de la marea
- Niebla, troncos a la deriva y troncos semihundidos
- Aguas abiertas y expuestas en el cabo Caution y el estrecho de la Reina Carlota
- Fondeaderos profundos y pocos refugios seguros
