Marjorie Cahn Brazer's Well-Favored Passage - The Magic of Lake Huron's North Channel
A Sail and Power Cruising Guide by Pixie Haughwout & Ralph Folsom
Well-Favored Passage - The Magic of Lake Huron's North Channel is the classic sail and power cruising guide to this fabled destination. The pristine North Channel, home to thousands of islands, links Georgian Bay to Lake Superior and is largely in Canadian waters. Marjorie Cahn Brazer's last edition has been updated and expanded by two long-time cruisers who share her love of boats and books. Islands and anchorages, wilderness and ports of call, history and legends, wild blueberries and ice cream are presented with an eye for North Channel magic.
Practical and intimate, this anniversary edition adds a Georgian Bay Bonus, The Twin Saults, Drummond, Mackinac and Les Cheneaux Islands, carefully selected anchorages and harbors, new gunkholes, and more stories and tales. Details on launch ramps, charter companies, navigation, GPS, weather, clearing customs, farmers markets, recommended restaurants, fishing and Net access are included.
"The North Channel is a state of mind. It is flight of the soul to a distant haunt of peace, of timelessness, of mystery, of tempest, of aching beauty." Marjorie Cahn Brazer, Well-Favored Passage (First Edition, 1975)
From Cruising World: "Now there's good news for those who dream of visiting (the) far-north... some 85 percent of the volume has been updated or rewritten... Brazer's acute imagery remains a thread that runs through the tapestry of this guide to a treasured cruising destination."
