[Paddlewise] Paddle Route

I'm looking for a paddle route from Seattle to Port Hardy, BC (North
Vancouver Island).

Especially interested on opinions about whether to paddle through the San
Jauns to Victoria, Vancouver Island, or to paddle straight north along the
coast to Vancouver, BC.
Would be appreciative of any information on campsites, routes to avoid,
resupply options, and any Canadian permit requirements or other things that
I need to be aware of.  And are there certain routes that I can take, but
only during certain tide conditions?

Any help or contact information on this would be great.
Thanks,
Shoni Blue
