Download or read book Waggoner Cruising Guide 2014 written by Robert Hale and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Puget Sound to Ketchikan, AK, including the west coast of Vancouver Island and now Haida Gwaii, this popular annual guide provides complete information about marinas, marine parks and fuel docks, U.S./Canada border crossings and Customs, VHF radio requirements, and more. For each cruising area, you'll find a list of charts needed, overviews of the area, and detailed listings of moorage and fuel facilities. There's text on anchorages, Local Knowledge, the "flavor" of each area, some history, and comments on things to see and do. Lots of maps and photos, too. (The Waggoner contains 150 maps and 375 photos.) The Waggoner's maps, showing the coverage of each chapter, the harbors, and individual marinas, are one of its most popular features. They show approach routes and facilities, and take much of the anxiety out of entering a harbor for the first time. Maps of individual marinas detail the entrances and markers, shoal areas, dock layout, and location of the guest moorage and key facilities. More than a catalog of listings and maps, the Waggoner is praised as a "good read." The Waggoner is full of navigation tips, weather lore, anchoring ideas, and local knowledge. Serious sidebar features and descriptions explain tide-rips, reversing tidal rapids, stern-tie lines, shellfish toxins, and more. Lighter pieces and descriptions include the "lost-in-the-'50s" flavor of downtown Olympia; the proper attitude while waiting at the Ballard Locks ("it takes as long as it takes, and that's how it is"); and the discovery of a genuine, fur-bearing trout (very rare) in Prince Rupert. These stories are intended to entertain but also instruct, giving an "insider's look" at hazards, joys, and just plain facts of Northwest boating. The Waggoner includes "Green Pages" - reference pages with conversion tables, Morse code, Beaufort Wind Scale, VHF channels for Washington and B.C. waters. The Waggoner also contains telephone listings for U.S. and Canadian Customs, towing and emergency services.

News Flash! - Last 4th of July (2016) I was lounging on the finger dock next to my boat at Friday Harbor when a fellow boater approached me. He said, "I recognize - Kraken (Kraken's on the back cover)- I bought your book, and use it as one of my resources." We had a long enjoyable talk. He said he drove from Redding Ca. and taking my advice put in at Squalicum Harbor. Meeting a happy camper, made my day. Thanks! John News Flash! - (Dec 2016) We will have a new travel guide to the San Juans out soon. The new guide will be a "Land and Sea" guide and will be for all travelers. The original "San Juan Islands Cruise Guide" is still your detailed boaters bible to the Marine Parks. The new guide is titled "San Juan Islands Travel Guide." It includes shore attractions, e.g. resorts, campgrounds, villages, parks, and lots of local community knowledge to assist your bicycling excursions, kayaking paddles, hiking and overall visit. The new guide is a companion resource to our cruise guide - not a replacement. Boat travelers to the San Juans should own and carry both.

Download or read book The Curve of Time written by M. Wylie Blanchet and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-05 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beloved and bestselling Pacific Northwest classic, now available in paperback from Harbour Publishing! Widowed at the age of thirty-five, Muriel Wylie Blanchet packed up her five children in the summers that followed and set sail aboard the twenty-five-foot Caprice. For fifteen summers, in the 1920s and 1930s, the family explored the coves and islands of the BC coast, encountering settlers and hermits, hungry bears and dangerous tides, and falling under the spell of the region’s natural beauty. Driven by curiosity, the family followed the quiet coastline, and Blanchet—known as Capi, after her boat—recorded their wonder as they threaded their way between the snowfields, slept under the bright stars and wandered through Indigenous winter villages left empty in the summer months. The Curve of Time weaves the story of these years into a memoir that has inspired generations to seek out their own adventures on the wild west coast. First published in 1961, less than a year before the author died, Blanchet’s captivating work has become a classic of travel writing, and one of the bestselling BC books of all time.
Download or read book Kelly Tough written by Erin Kelly and published by BroadStreet Publishing Group LLC. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do not let the title Kelly Tough fool you. This is not a “be all you can be, no pain–no gain” story. Toughness is overrated. And being Kelly Tough, well, you are about to find out what that really means and why it just might matter to you. Kelly Tough is a story of love and hope: a love between a father and a daughter—Buffalo Bill’s former quarterback, Jim Kelly, and his oldest daughter Erin. Erin shares a deeply personal account of the love a family can have for each other during the darkest times, and a greater love that a heavenly Father has for you. Whatever circumstance or heartbreak you find yourself overwhelmed by right now, it is not the end of the story. In fact, it just might be one of the greatest chapters as you, like the Kelly’s, find strength in weakness, hope in the midst of heartache, and joy in spite of suffering.
