Boating, hiking, and survival off the grid in coastal British Columbia, where mountains drop into the sea and people practice self-reliance and a different sense of purpose. Destinations on the Strait of Georgia that can be reached by boat, bicycle, all-terrain vehicle, and sea kayak. Contrarian views of the people and places of coastal British Columbia. A travelogue memoir based on off-the-grid living in a floating cabin, where the sublime beauty of British Columbia's lower mainland forms the setting, and the Strait of Georgia awaits on your doorstep.
