Located in the Georgia Strait North of Naniamo.
Jedediah Island Marine Park was established in 1995 after a fundraising campaign raised enough money to get the donated Palmer homestead and entire island converted into a park. Its remote location makes it one of Canada's best marine parks. Some of the attractions are the abandoned homestead, feral sheep, and amazing geography.
The likely route there (red) and back (green).
My plan is to sail the 45 NM to J.I. in one day, wind permitting. On the return trip if the prevailing SE wind holds true Naniamo would make a ideal midway point. The next day it would be a broad reach sailing back to Vancouver.

The little bay I hope to make an anchorage.
