“The boat plowed through the water, shuddering with each wave it struck. My love of the sea and my desire for adventure, had not prepared me for this terror. I now knew how quickly a boat could sink – mere seconds”. Barbara captivates readers with her detailed recounting of the many adventures and the daily struggles she faced as she invites you to become immersed in what life was like for her and her family, as they followed her husband’s dream of living and working afloat on the sometimes treacherous coast of British Columbia from 1972 to 1984.
