Book Description

Series: Dreamspeaker Series | Publication Date: January 1, 2003

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for explorers around the area!, December 9, 2003

This review is from: Vancouver, Howe Sound, and the Sunshine Coast: A Dreamspeaker Cruising Guide, Volume 3 (Paperback)

I was amazed with the details and drawings incorporated in this book. This is definitely the best reference book available for boaters.

My wife and I have logged about 1500 n/m since April 2003 in our sailboat and we have gone to many of the places suggested in this book.

It allowed me to see what to expect as well as provided us accurate location and description of each area. If you want to explore Howe Sound and the Sunshine coast, this book is a must to have handy in your boat.
