Baidarka Diaries: Voyages and Explorations British Columbia and Alaska 1992-2003

For eighteen summers, Don and Réanne Douglass explored the waters of British Columbia and Southeast Alaska aboard their two Baidarka research vessels. Their exhaustive notes on cruising routes and safe anchorages form the basis of the Exploring series of nautical guidebooks, upon which numerous boaters rely for information on cruising the Inside Passage and beyond. But Réanne also kept personal diaries on many of the Baidarka voyages, which provide a more comprehensive account of the Douglasses' cruising experiences. In addition to the expected entries on boat handling, sea and weather conditions, and geographical impressions, the Baidarka Diaries contain Réanne's observations of nature, conversations (and arguments) with Don, encounters with fellow boaters, recurring battles with seasickness, occasional misadventures, and other daily aspects of the cruising life-even onboard recipes. Whether you're an armchair traveler, or you've taken your own voyage up the Inside Passage and want to re-visit the experience, this book offers vicarious cruising at its best!
