The trip you have in mind sounds risky to me. 29 nautical miles is a long way and if weather conditions change half way you will have a difficult time to get ashore again. (Both if the wind falls away or gets stronger than what the AI is meant to handle well). I'm not saying that the AI will break but 'she' was cleary not designed for heavy wheather conditions. Also, be prepared to get soaking wet, even with force 3 and (short) waves not higher then 30 cm.
Be aware also of the risks of hypothermia.
I do not want to scare you, I just want to make sure you are very well prepared if you go for it!
