I agree with Faster about West coast of Van. Is in the winter. I don't know what size boat you have but even the big 80+' commercial fishing boats avoid being out there in a storm. We got stuck in Tofino for three days, 45 knots and 20-24' seas, and that was during summer.

There is a group of power boats that goes to Princess Louisa for New Years every year, so it can be done. Definitely want to pick a favorable weather window though, and count on it being wrong .
