Could I have been one of them? was what Sam McKinney wondered as he retraced, alone, from Puget Sound to Queen Charlotte Strait, the explorations of Captain George Vancouver and his men. In the 1790s, day after day, they had rowed for long hours, camping on rocky beaches in all weathers and charting the intricate coastline for the first time. Two hundred years later, McKinney followed them in his 25-foot sailboat, anchoring in the same locations as they had done, experiencing the same winds and waves, and sharing what McKinney calls the link of vulnerability that is the ever-present condition of all people who go to sea. With his boat, his pipe and the occasional glass of rum, McKinney invites readers along on a perceptive voyage through time and along the magnificent Pacific Northwest coast from Puget Sound through the Georgia and Queen Charlotte Straits. Describing both the historical and contemporary voyages around the Inland Sea, McKinney offers insightful comparisons of what sailors saw and experienced in the 18th century and what they see today.At the end of his trip McKinney, like Vancouver, claims the area he had explored, not by deed of ownership but out of love for the place, its staggering beauty...(and) the memories of the people and cultures who have found homes along its shores. Could he have, indeed, been one of Vancouver's men? He isn't sure, but he would like to have given it a try.

After taking early retirement, Dave and Arlene plan a voyage across the Pacific Ocean. They intend to sail from Victoria, Canada, to Brisbane, Australia, via Hawaii. But neither of them has ever been on a sailboat, so first they buy a boat and circumnavigate Vancouver Island while they learn to sail it. The preparation is long and hard, the voyage often demanding, and the adventure life changing. Still, there are days and nights of pure magic along the way, while the islands visited are a bonus, providing access to peoples and cultures only previously imagined.

An adventure story set against the backdrop of a son trying to understand his father After a 25-year break from boating, Brian Harvey circumnavigates Vancouver Island with his wife, his dog, and a box of documents that surfaced after his father’s death. John Harvey was a neurosurgeon, violinist, and photographer who answered his door a decade into retirement to find a sheriff with a summons. It was a malpractice suit, and it did not go well. Dr. Harvey never got over it. The box contained every nurse’s record, doctor’s report, trial transcript, and expert testimony related to the case. Only Brian’s father had read it all — until now. In this beautifully written memoir, Brian Harvey shares how after two months of voyaging with his father’s ghost, he finally finds out what happened in the O.R. that crucial night and why Dr. Harvey felt compelled to fight the excruciating accusations.

Its maze of inlets, islands, sandy shores and rocky shoals gives the British Columbia coast some of the best cruising in the world--19,000 kilometres of spectacular coastline. So it's no surprise that boaters flock here from around the world. Anne and Laurence Yeadon-Jones first found their way to Vancouver Harbour in 1988, after they left London's Docklands, sailed the Atlantic, cruised the Caribbean and explored the eastern seaboard of the United States. They've never left, choosing to rent an apartment in Vancouver's West End and moor their 36-foot sailboat Dreamspeaker near Stanley Park. In the ensuing 15 years, they've explored many nooks and crannies of BC's coast, gathering useful information for boaters and meeting all sorts of colourful characters. The result is Voyage of the Dreamspeaker, a personal chronicle which details one idyllic summer cruise from Vancouver to Desolation Sound. On the way the authors unearth snippets of intriguing history and meet coastal pioneers old and new, and they interweave these stories with their own past adventures and new discoveries of an area they have grown to love. From the bustling urban marinas of Vancouver's False Creek to the warm and secluded waters off Musket Island Marine Park (near Hardy Island), the authors describe their favourite places to visit from Vancouver to Toba Inlet. Browse Molly's Lane Market in Gibsons, buy some fabulous home-baked bread at the Gambier Island General Store and don't miss visiting Harry Roberts' original log cabin and apple orchard on Nelson Island, which is kept beautifully intact for visitors. Illustrated with unforgettable colour photographs and detailed charts and maps, Voyage of the Dreamspeaker will inspire even the most cautious of boaters to cast away and explore the best BC has to offer.
