Review: Excellent - I’ve done many trips in the areas this book covers, year-round, sometimes with others, often solo — but I always bring this book as a reference. If you’re sailing in British Columbia you will benefit from the information this book provides. It is specificity, accuracy and useful. Also, the last review was a few years ago but it remains a marquee resource.
Review: A wealth of information presented in an easy to read format - This book is very well researched and contains solid information that will be useful for anyone planing to explore the inland and coastal waters of the Salish Sea, Northern British Columbia and Southeast Alaska.under sail. The author strikes a good balance between discussion of basic weather patterns and their causes, practical cruise planning information, and entertaining cruising lessons learned in her "I remember when..."... stories. I have been sailing and cruising in the Pacific Northwest for over 35 years and felt like I had a pretty good understanding of how barometric pressue changes, shapes of land masses, widths of channels all affect how hard and from what direction the wind will blow from. After rreading Marilyn Johnson's book I feel like I have a much deeper understanding of the physical forces that influence wind,speed and direction and water conditions. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did.
