Review

For Voyage of the Dreamspeaker
"There's a jolly practicality to the text that makes this handsome book a good gift for a sailor, if not an armchair traveller."
-The Globe and Mail

"Nothing if not hip-nautical... This is a book no West Coast sailor worth his salt - or even a land-lubber who wants to explore the area - should be without."
-The Province

"Anne is no only a crack sailor, she accentuate the positive in every encounter, whether with natural beauty, natural folks, or natural disaster."
-Norwesting Magazine

For The Broughtons
"These sailors cum authors don't just ply the water where they travel, they connect with the people and the communities. That intimacy is reflected in this popular series of cruising guides...essential for local and visiting boaters."
-Teresa Bird, North Island Gazette

"The completeness of The Broughtons is truly exhaustive...A valuable addition to the library of any serious cruiser"
-Robert Buller, Pacific Yachting

"Deeply immersed in the culture of boating, The Broughtons is an indispensable guide for any boater who wishes to visit this beautiful corner of our BC Coast... Highly recommended"
-Catherine Dook, Boat Journal (Praise for the Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Book Description

The Pacific Northwest is well known for its spectacular world-class cruising grounds. Authors Anne and Laurence Yeadon-Jones have combed every nautical mile of this area in their 36-foot sailboat, Dreamspeaker, to sketch and write about the true gems in this watery region. Key features include the best anchorages and marinas in each region, unique hand-drawn shoreline plans for each destination, detailed sketch charts, and color photographs. There are also details on approach, hazards and cautions, where to anchor, marina contacts, and US/Canadian customs. In addition, you can find out where to drop a crab pot, pick huckleberries, find a freshwater lake, discover a hidden beach, watch otters at play, or simply take a hike.
