"Never turn your back on the ocean. People who do often do not returnto port." This was some wise counsel given to the author as a child beingraised in the Canadian Gulf Islands by an unusual sea-faring Anglican ministerand his kindly wife. With the solid influence of British culture and thelush setting of Mayne Island and its highly individual and entertaininginhabitants, the author has brought a collage of tales together to reveal theflavour of West Coast living, from discovery days to current times. As asea-going realtor, the author met many a character who left a story to betold. A considerable collection of photographs, archival as well as theauthor's own, illustrate this intriguing memoir.
