If anchoring out—particularly
off the beaten track—is your style, this is the
South Coast cruising guide for you. In a series of books
which covers the coast from Puget Sound to Southeast
Alaska, the Douglasses emphasize detailed cove-by-cove
descriptions, including hazards, extracts from Sailing
Directions and Small Craft Guides, waypoints for entrances
and prime spots to drop the hook and, in many cases,
detail maps of key anchorages. Most entries reflect
the authors' first-hand local knowledge, including anchor
"tests" of bottom material and holding. This
new edition is vastly expanded from the 1996 original,
with entries on more than 1,200 anchor sites from Victoria
to Queen Charlotte Strait. Don Douglass says this volume
is the first to document all anchoring sites on the
South Coast, including about 200 unnamed coves. Whether
you're looking for a private hideaway or a refuge from
rotten weather, this guide will be tough to beat.

To whom it may concern,
Two years ago while living in Eugene, Oregon we purchased
the book "Exploring the South Coast of British
Columbia" to help me plan our trip to Desolation
Sound. It was a great trip thanks to your book.
