 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 |
