Life on the Water: Logbooks and Journals (English Edition)

Life on the Water is meant to collect the accounts I’ve kept of living in the Cook Islands, in the South Pacific, in 1991, and the voyages I made with the Whimsey, a wooden sailboat I built in 2003 so I could sail around the Strait of Georgia. I kept an account of tide and points of sail, as well as what it was like to sail when I knew so little about living in that way. I sailed off Vancouver for three summers and these logbooks find a place here. Likewise, in the summer of 2004, I decided I would canoe down the St John River in New Brunswick and keep a record of what it was like on the river and who I met along the trip. Come learn along with me as I discovered, by times slowly and always with delight, what a life on the water entailed.
