"Our world then was both wide and narrow -- wide in the immensity
of sea and mountain; narrow in that the boat was very small, and we
lived and camped, explored and swam in a little realm of our own
making." -- M. Wylie Blanchet The 50th anniversary edition of this
coastal British Columbia classic, now in beautifully illustrated
hardcover, will make a timeless keepsake. This is a biography and
astonishing adventure story of a woman who, left a widow in 1927,
packed her five children onto a 25-foot boat and cruised the
coastal waters of British Columbia, summer after summer. Muriel
Wylie Blanchet acted single-handedly as skipper, navigator,
engineer and, of course, mother, as she saw her crew through
encounters with tides, fog, storms, rapids, cougars and bears. She
sharpened in her children a special interest in Haida culture and
in nature itself. In this book, she left us with a sensitive and
compelling account of their journeys.
