Book Overview
Maria Coffey and Dag Goering embark on a three-month journey by wooden boat along Canada's spectacular west coast. Leading the way are legendary boat builders and sailors Allen and Sharie Farrell on their last voyage aboard the China Cloud. Powered only by wind and sculling oars, they take Coffey and Goering to their old haunts, places where they homesteaded, fished, and built boats. Years roll away as the Farrells recount decades of memories with passion, insight and humour. Awards BC Book Prize: 1997 - The Bill Duthie Booksellers Choice Award Sailing Back in Time (shortlisted)

Great Book for Dreamers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Maria Coffey's clear prose and Dag Goering's moving photographs make this a "must have" for sailors, wooden boat buffs and those in love with life afloat. Alan Farrell is a legend of the Canadian Gulf Islands, and Maria has done a fine job capturing the spirit of this man from another age. He and his life have a lot to teach us all. I find myself poring over this book in the bleak months of winter, dreaming of a place I'd rather be.
