Saltspring and Wallace are among the driest of the Gulf Islands, being firmly
in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island, but I have no experience with Oct and
Nov.  I'd guess wind would be the concern, in any event, inasmuch as the
channels there run N and S, and as systems work through there would be strong
breezes, approaching gales at times.

I've thought about paddling there in the fall.  Check out Snowden's book.  She
has a lot of detail about weather, etc.
