The weather and sea state around Brooks Peninsula can be the most difficult conditions that the West Coast of Vancouver Island deals out. Forecasts always seem to be 15-25 knots whether from the SW or the NW. The Peninsula sticks out six miles, and is the crux of the circumnavigation. We fortunately waited until winds were SE10-18, and made our run for it.
