Journeys Through the Inside Passage: Seafaring Adventures Along the Coast of British Columbia and Alaska (Caribou Classics) - Softcover
Writer and fisherman Joe Upton recounts the riveting stories of explorers of the past and seafarers of the present in JOURNEYS THROUGH THE INSIDE PASSAGE. His chronicle offers events vivid in their telling: the journey of widow Muriel Blanchet, who solo navigated a small vessel in the 1930s with her five children; the failed meeting of explorers Alexander Mackenzie and George Vancouver in 1793; countless sinkings; and tales from the author's own experiences plying this legendary waterway.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
"God's Pocket. The harbor at God's Pocket: in more sheltered waters, mariners wouldn't give such a small and relatively open cove a secod look when seeking an anchorage. A surge comes in from any well in the Sound, and there isn't room for but a handful of boats. One sleeps uneasily; even though the wind doesn't reach down on the cove, it rushes throg the trees above. Yet what shelter it offers lies at the very edge of Queen Charlotte Sound. By lying there, a northbound vessel may make a 3:00 or 4:00 A.M. start and perhaps get across the open waters tothe north before the winds starts to blow. Likewise, southbound travelers, arriving here at dark after a difficult passage, find the limited shelter infinitely better than what they came from." Page 66
