Suggested cruising guides for B.C. Gulf Islands

[philscho]

Greetings,

My wife and I are planning a 10-12 day cruise from Bellingham, WA up into the Canadian Gulf Islands. I am looking for any good literature ( cruising guides) on this majestic Island group. I have Bill Wolferstan's "Cruising guide to the Gulf Islands & a good set of Canadian charts, but wondered if there were any new works out there that covers this cruising grounds??
Thanks,
Phil Schofield

We have used a couple of "Dreamspeaker" books by Anne & Laurence Yeadon-Jones. Have found them very informative & helpful. You should be able to find them at most marine outfitters or online at: http://www.dreamspeaker.ca/

Phil, If not doing so already you would benefit from participation in the NW Sailing List, called the Cascadia List.
http://sailcascadia.org/
Their page has instructions on how to join. Lots of cruising info is shared back 'n' forth. The bulk of the information is about the Puget Sound/Gulf Islands/VanIsle.
They all designed their own burgee, and one flies on our boat.

Regards,
Loren

Phil, We really like the "Gulf Islands Cruising Guide" - Peter Vassilopoulis for its pictures plus information on a great variety of places. Enjoy your trip.
