Book excerpt: In the course of cruising the west coast, Marianne Scott has met a variety of fascinating people whose lives revolve around the sea-racing sailors, scientists, yacht designers, boat-builders, writers, painters and eccentrics. Compelled to introduce these folk to a wider world, Marianne conducted interviews from Portland to Bella Coola to bring together this engaging collection of profiles. Readers will meet hermit Bob Stewart; publisher Tom Kincaid, founder of Nor'westing magazine; writer Charlie White of fishing-book fame; shipwreck hunter James Delgado; biologist Verena Tunnicliffe; whale researcher Paul Spong; entrepreneur Jim Whittaker, who started REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.), the renowned supplier of specialty outdoor gear; designers Ted Brewer and Bob Perry; lighthouse-keeper Flo Anderson; and many more. From 20-something adventurers to octo-genarians still single handing, the people in this book are intriguing, honest, funny-and inspiring.
