Curve of Time

About this book

This is a biography and astonishing adventure story of a woman who left a widow in 1927 packed her five children onto a 25-foot boat and cruised the coastal waters of British Columbia summer after summer. Muriel Wylie Blanchet acted single-handedly as skipper navigator engineer and of course mum as she saw her crew through encounters with tides fog storms rapids cougars and bears. She sharpened in her children a special interest in Haida culture and in nature itself. In this book she left us with a sensitive and compelling account of their journeys.
