Personal stories that capture the essence and flavor of the Inside Passage by the author of Far-Away Places, Prince Rupert resident Iain Lawrence. Readers will identify with Iain and his mate, Kristin, as they explore secluded passages and anchor sites in their small cutter. They rescue a tiny orphaned seal, sail alongside an inquisitive porpoise, cheer for salmon struggling to reach their natal waters, meet a saintly old sailor, or shrink with embarrassment on hearing the tantrums of an arrogant skipper. The stories, written with sympathy, feeling, and humor, each stand alone and can be read aloud for pleasure at anchor, around a campfire, or at home in an armchair.

Iain learned to sail at the age of nine, on a tiny lake in the middle of the prairies. He now lives on the north coast of British Columbia, care-taking a radio transmitter site on an island near Prince Rupert. For seven summers, along with his partner Kristin Miller and a little dog called Skipper, he explored the coast in an old naval whaler named Nid.
Nid, in some ways, changed his life. She turned him from a weekend sailor into a traveller, from a newspaper editor into a writer. He quit his job and started writing books the year he bought her, and achieved his first real success the year that he sold her.
Iain's book, Sea Stories of the Inside Passage, is a collection of stories about his travels in Nid. Iain now writes novels for children. His first, The Wreckers, has been translated into six languages.
I can't wait to read Iain's next sea story; he describes the life of the Inside Passage like no one else. --Sherrill and Rene Kitson, Ivory Island Lightstation
