I'm in the early thinking and planning stages of a cruise from the Salish Sea to Haida Gwaii in 2020. I'm seeking input from those who've made the trip on the best time of year to go. Regarding both weather and crowding.
It's about 640 nm from my home port of Oak Harbor Wa on Whidbey Island via Port McNeill and Prince Rupert for fuel and provision stops. I'll call that at least a month to get there. I like to make lots of side trips off the Waggoner's path.
Some I've chatted with recommend an April departure. My experience in early season on the west coast of BC is rain. Heavy, continuous downpours. Beautiful but not anything I want to spend much time outdoors.
Thanks in advance!
