If this how your girlfriend was outfitted then shame on you :-) you should have base camped on Lopez and explored the other islands without your panniers via the inter island ferry.
We did a 4 day loop, 1 island per day utilizing all the ferries. She needed to suffer a bit anyways
We put 90% of the gear in my panniers and she just carried her clothes
