Pt Defiance, watch the weather. Narrows... no way. My feel on the matter is that in a 12' aluminum you you won't have any problems at Pt Defiance but if you do, you can probably row your way to safety and if not, someone will pick you up. I wouldn't go around the corner though. Watch the weather and bring your safety gear. You will be checked!

I've towed two boats in Commencement Bay with my 15' Arima. One was a 25' sailboat and the second was a 20' Bayliner. Both boats were totally unprepared to be out there. I'd be happy to tow a 12' aluminum.....
