Douglas Bay to Beaver Inlet, Loughborough Inlet - 2 hours 13 miles

There are four sets of rapids on our planned route. We must pass through each at slack tide. The rapids are; Whirlpool Rapids, Green Point Rapids, Dent and Yuculta Rapids. The water runs at up to 9 knots at times. Since we only go 6-7 knots, we have to plan carefully. We passed through Whirlpool Rapids at 20 minutes before slack and it was calm and easy. We are going to spend the night here before passing the next rapids, Green Point.
