Synopsis

These popular cruising companions offer charts, tips and data that will enhance the enjoyment and safety of any voyage. The guides feature informative and charming hand-drawn shoreline plans of selected marinas and small boat anchorages, ranging from safe all-weather havens to secluded picnic spots and marine parks. Intended to complement official hydrographic charts, the Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides accurately pinpoint both popular and little-known highlights in BC and Pacific Northwest coastal waters that every sailor, power-boater or kayaker should know.Written in the personal style of a boater's logbook, the accompanying text provides vital information about featured locations, plus notes on recreational activities for adults and children. Here you will find the best spots to anchor your boat, share a romantic sunset, enjoy a fine meal, pick blackberries in season--even locate a welcome hot shower or cappuccino!Aerial photographs illustrate safe approaches to the destinations, while full-colour scenic photographs showcase the splendour of the Pacific Northwest Coast.

About this title

Review:

"The most underrated area of our coast . . . from the bustle of downtown Vancouver to the charming villages and islands of Howe Sound and the delights of Welcome Passage, this area rewards close exploration. And there's no better guide to close exploration than the one you're holding in your hands."--From the foreword by Simon Hill, Pacific Yachting magazine

About the Author:

Born in Durban, South Africa, Anne Yeadon-Jones is an apparel designer and stylist, who has managed to juggle fashion, boating and writing. She and her husband Laurence are experienced offshore and inshore sailors, who in 1985 voyaged from Southampton, England on their first sailing expedition across the Atlantic Ocean. They have logged thousands of cruising hours charting, recording and photographing their adventures - the last 15 years exclusively along the beautifully rugged southern coastline of British Columbia, Canada. To date they have produced three colourful, information-packed "Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides" that cover the most significant and accessible cruising areas of the southern inside passage. As passionate ambassadors of the area's unspoiled cruising waters, coastal communities and local enterprises, they endeavour to promote safe and enjoyable boating while profiling the uniqueness of coastal life and its pioneering characters. Anne and Laurence are also regular contributors to local and international boating magazines. They live in Vancouver's West End and are able to keep their 36-foot sailboat Dreamspeaker and faithful dingy Tink very close by and ready to go at a moment's notice.
