no.... lol... powerboats... .lots and lots of powerboats go through the pass (plus jet skis)

there are also several hotel/beach bars that attract lots and lots of bikini's... boats and drunk buttheads.... even though the coast guard patrol it.. (and the local police) ... there is lots of traffic

The pass can also get VERY wild with wind.. waves... currents (all going in different directions). Conditions can change quickly. I personally have gone from on the wire.. to leaward and have the boat capsize over my head ... then rush towards the breakers... no fun!

Probably not the best weekend to have 20 cats in there... but on the other hand.. i have sailed through it dozens of times... (even with heavy traffic). It is do-able... and historically (durring races)... more often than not... there is little wind..waves or problems

They are currently calling for 15-18mph... it could get wild in there.
