So I’m at work right now and thus unable to dedicate proper research to this at the moment, but I was wondering if anyone on here could give me some pointers on sailing conditions between California and Vancouver Island?
My husband and I recently traveled to Vancouver Island, and my understanding is that the Natives there didn’t use sails but rather large canoes, but I have also been told that the seas in this region are particularly rough, and yet I was also told that they traded up and down the coast.
How did that work, exactly? Did the Natives of Vancouver Island and Olympic Peninsula interact to any degree with those in Oregon and California, or was their seafaring technology not suited to such long voyages? Also, how long would these voyages have taken, and how would sails have improved the situation?
