A guide to unexplored anchorages on British Columbia’s Inside Passage. Just off the Inside Passage’s beaten path are countless channels, bays and lagoons that beg exploration. Some are easy, some can be entered only during a few minutes at high water slack. Waggoner correspondents Jennifer and James Hamilton have researched many of these hidden jewels, and provided detailed navigation instructions. Plus history, sights to see, trails and logging roads to walk. Added chapters discuss anchoring techniques, water conservation, food & meal planning, even laundry.
