Wayne, That area...Jervis Inlet, Hotham Sound, the main fiord up to Princess Louisa...is subject to willawas, technically katabatic winds that flow outward from inland mountainous areas downslope into these inlets. We have been blown out of Hotham Sound some years ago late in the season. The winds are not predicted or forecast by the Environment Canada continuous vhf broadcasts. I'm curious if any of the weather modeling apps, like Windy, attempt to forecast these winds, but I doubt it. I'm raising this issue so you're aware of the potential for these winds in that region.
