Wylie Blanchet \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The 50th anniversary edition of this coastal British Columbia classic, now in beautifully illustrated hardcover, will make a timeless keepsake. 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, mother, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this book, she left us with a sensitive and compelling account of their journeys. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whitecap Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51947885854951,"sku":"9781770500372","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_3f3d608c-13d4-4667-a3cb-488ca5f60c25.jpg?v=1775502945","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/the-curve-of-time-anniversary","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
