Product Description

The Gulf Islands are a group of a dozen large islands and hundreds of smaller islets located around the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Spectacular scenery, low rainfall and the many protected waterways offer ideal paddling conditions. Protected from the pounding waves and extreme weather associated with the open coast, the waters in this area provide hours of paddling for the novice and experienced paddler alike. Hundreds of kilometres of shoreline offer countless hours of intertidal exploration. Quiet coves, pebble beaches and sandy shores allow for putting ashore, exploring inland, setting up camp or for simply gazing seaward.

Sea Kayak the Gulf Is - best book
This is the second copy I have purchased - I have kayaked the Gulf Is for many years and this book is extremely well written and organized, in fact better than any other I have read for the Pacific Northwest. I wish the author would write for areas already covered in other books and show them how.

Good concise guidebook to the Southern Gulf Islands
I'm using this book as part of a multi day adventure rowing through the Gulf Islands. This book discusses the currents, beaches and campsites along the way. In addition the charts its an essential part of the planning for this area. You'll be glad you got it before you went.
