In the 1790s, Vancouver's crew rowed for long hours day after day, and camped on rocky beaches in all weathers to chart the intricate coastline for European colonial exploits. Two hundred years later, McKinney followed their ancient path in his 25-foot sailboat, anchoring where they did, meeting the same winds and waves, and sharing "the link of vulnerability that is the ever-present condition of all people who go to sea." McKinney offers insightful comparisons of what sailors saw and experienced, in the 18th century and today, around the Inland Sea. At the end of his trip he, like Vancouver, claimed the area he had explored, "not by deed of ownership but out of love for the place, its staggering beauty [and] the memories of the people and cultures who have found homes along its shores." McKinney invites readers along on a perceptive voyage through time and along the magnificent, storied west coast."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a McKinney, Sam, $d 1927- $x Travel $z Northwest Coast of North America. 600 10 $a Vancouver, George, $d 1757-1798. 650 0 $a Sailing $z Northwest Coast of North America. 651 0 $a Northwest Coast of North America $x British. $x British. 651 0 $a Northwest Coast of North America $x Description and travel. 776 1 $a McKinney, Sam, 1927-, author. $t Sailing with Vancouver.: $b Updated edition. $d Victoria, B.C. : TouchWood Editions, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20189014091 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502031722.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=623715BE26B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
