Sailaway, you've hit the nail on the head. Not pleasant at all, and this patch of waves seemed to come out of nowhere. Your suggestion vis-a-vis the rudder coming out - or at least part of the way out - of the water is consistent with the pitching we were experiencing in every plane. It was, as Faster writes, a "washing machine."
Faster - having spent absolutely no time sailing any further into the Inlet than the Lion's Gate Bridge, I didn't check the currents. Needless to say I will be checking in the future. The spot I was talking about in my post was nearly directly under the Second Narrows Bridge. It was not so bad once I cleared the bridge, but there were still a bunch of these "washing machine" type patches all the way to Mosquito Creek (where the boat is presently moored). I was amazed at how fast this was flowing.
Thanks, both of you, for your information.
