I just talked to a couple of people over the weekend that have done the North Channel. They were telling me things are pretty primitive as far as the boating goes. Things like paint cans being painted red and green and put on the end of wooden sticks to act as channel markers (scary). Also, they mentioned that if you want to have electric at the marinas, you should take about every electrical adapter known to mankind. The one guy said he blew the master breaker at the marina after it closed and he only plugged in a 15 amp power supply.

Good luck!
