The border zigs and zags a bit to split the Southern Gulf islands (Canada) from the San Juan Islands (US).

The Tsawassen (Vancouver) - Swartz Bay (Victoria) ferry does travel through US waters for only a short time, either just after leaving Tsawassen, or just before arriving, depending on trip direction. Of the 1 hour 35 minutes sailing, only about 10 minutes is in US waters.
