Description

It has been five years since renowned travel writer Maria Coffey and her husband, photographer Dag Goering, embarked on a journey by wooden boat along Canada's spectacular western shores. Leading the way were legendary boat-builders Allen and Sharie Farrell on their last voyage aboard China Cloud. This revised edition includes an afterword that continues the story of the Farrells and offers retrospective insight to this classic West Coast adventure.
