Possible if a waiver is passed by Congress but the issue then becomes bypassing Canada by going out into the Pacific and staying in International waters until in US waters. I have made the inside passage typically used by cruise ships a number of times and even that can get rough. Going out into the open ocean up there is no Caribbean and can get downright nasty.
