Curve of Time BC

This story was expecially fun for me to read because this woman lived in a time and near a place of my own grandmother. She took hold of her life after the death of her husband and shared wonderful adventures with her children each summer in the waters and byways of the Canadian BC inland waterways. She did this in an era where her family said she should sell everything and "move home where it was safer" A real joy to read. Carol Hage Wall, Oak Harbor, WashingtonThe Curve of Time: The Classic Memoir of a Woman and Her Children Who Explored the Coastal Waters of the Pacific Northwest (Adventura Books)

A amazing woman. As good as any cruising book written. And a shame that this woman wrote only one book. A very good picture of cruising, the Pacific NorthWest and, a simpler time.

What a great read. Ms. Blanchett takes you through the doors of time and travels back to the Northern, West coast of British Columbia. Visit what life and nature was like years ago. She draws memories of a growing family and their adventures that remain in your mind long after the book is done and has been put back on the shelf. On quiet days while out on the water one can't help but feel the Caprice with Wylie at the wheel shadow past you, exploring yet another part of the water world around her. Read and DREAM ON.
