October 24, 2006 | Tips from Us > Campbell River, Museums
Join expert sailors Anne & Laurence Yeadon-Jones for a lively presentation of personal cruising experiences at the Museum at Campbell River in Campbell River, BC, on Sunday, November 5 at 1:00pm.
The presentation, titled “A Summer in the Broughtons,” focuses on where to cruise in the exquisite Broughton Archipelago. Gorgeous colour photography and stories about the Yeadon-Jones’s own adventures will entertain and inform both the serious sailor and armchair traveller.

Now, Anne and Laurence Yeadon-Jones, whose four classic guides on southern waters have made them the coast’s favourite cruising writers, weigh in with their long-awaited fifth volume, The Broughtons and Vancouver Island—Kelsey Bay to Port Hardy, on this fascinating cruising territory.
Taking up where Volume 2, Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands, left off, Volume 5 includes all of the familiar features that make the Dreamspeaker series the incredibly popular cruising guides that they are. Numerous charts and aerial photos clearly delineate the safest routes north into Queen Charlotte Strait and the myriad islands surrounding it. Laurence’s whimsical hand-drawn maps expose the dangers and attractions of key anchorages among the maze-like passages with matchless clarity. Anne’s buoyant commentary draws on her own exhaustive research to evoke the mythic past of this “Kwakiutl Country” and provides a knowing guide to hidden treasures and not-to-be missed attractions. Laurence’s fine scenic photography adds the crowning touch to one of the most handsome marine guides on the coast.
