We are in Pt. Montt Chile making our way home to Victoria, Canada. What would be the most direct route with the best winds?

That's an easy one as I sailed more or less the same route myself, from Valdivia, to Vancouver in my 43 ft Aventura.

In your case I advise you to take a shorter route: Chile - Easter Island - Marquesas - Hawaii - British Columbia (may have to skirt the Pacific High to go around its western edge... or motor through it if you are in a hurry).

Bon voyage!
