Winds can be tricky and, especially towards the outer islands, you are quite exposed. A VHF radio to keep track of weather reports is a must. On my trip last July we aborted after the first night because of the weather forecast. As a result of the high winds, several parties spent two extra days sitting on islands waiting for the weather to break. Not even the ferries were running. We went up to the end of the peninsula and did a day trip out to the caves of Sand Island before the winds came up, and then spent our time on short trips on the lee side. The sea caves on the outer islands are spectacular.
