The problem is that Victoria to Bamfield (first sheltered refuge in Barkley Sound) is 90 miles away (I do not consider the very limited protection offered by Port San Juan to be an intermediate option, except in an emergency.

What?? Port Renfrew can be open to some breeze but you can tuck in around the corner near the Gov't warf. I've been in and out of San Juan on gill netters and seiners and none of them seem particularly worried about anchoring up in there. Really bad weather in there is pretty rare. I wouldn't hesitate to anchor up in Port Renfrew.
