Blanchet's short stories on exploring the Pacific Northwest waterways offer a window into a time and era gone by. She describes coastal waterways, and the perils and joys of exploring and navigating them, and she offers insight into the lives of fisherman, loggers, and hermits who live on the islands and on the shores of those coastal waterw... ays. Rich in stories on the natural world and in living life (and supporting one's children to live life) as a bold adventure, the book likely feels like a glimpse into the coastal waters for those who have explored them, an invitation to those who have yet to do so, and an opening to exploring how one introduces children to adventure for all families. Thankfully, her book is not intentionally self reflective, however one gleans her insights and perspective from the way in which her story is told. My only suggested addition would be a detailed map tracing her adventures. The stories are a refreshing and a delicious read.
