"SAIL the Inside Passage"?
The original context which I saw this in is "The best way to view the vast Great Bear Forest is to actually sail the Inside Passage between British Columbia and Alaska."
I'm surprised to see that the verb "sail" isn't followed by any preposition at all.
I can infer from the context that the author means the best way is to sail THROUGH the Inside Passage, but why placing only the verb "sail" alone in this sentence? I mean, wouldn't "sail through the Inside Passage" or "sail along the Inside Passage" be a lot better?
Thanks for answering in advance:)
