Seven of us hiked to Maud Island to see Seymour Narrows at the most current of the whole year, a 15.9 knot flood. It was also on perhaps the hottest day so far this year, but beautifully sunny. Fortunately most of this walk is in a cool, shaded forest.
We could hear the tidal action from quite a distance away, while we were still on Mt. Lolo. And at the viewpoint we could look down at the white/green water along the shore. Not surprisingly, there were no boats passing through the Narrows, but a half dozen jet-skis came through at max current. Four hours; 10.5 km.
