A Dream of Islands
reviewed A Dream of Islands on + 14 more book reviews


Chronicles the author's 20-year odyssey amongst the channels, straits, bays and coves of the Gulf Islands in Georgia Strait off the British Columbia coast. Phillip Teece explores both the masgic of man's fascination with the sea in general and his own almost obsessive attraction to this particular island labyrinth.

Sailing both single-handed and without the aid of an engine, Teece has examined every nook & cranny of his home waters, in the process proving that you don't have to head for the open seas to find excitement and adventure afloat.

A Dream of Islands is illustrated with the author's evocative pen-and-ink sketches.
