The Curve Of Time

The Curve of Time by M. Wylie Blanchet
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.
