I agree. I have read and even own most of the books mentioned on this list in my sailing library, accumulated over 40 some years. But I had never heard of Philip Teece and want to thank whoever (Dave?) brought his books to our attention. I picked up "A Dream of Islands" on Amazon. Good deal, good book.

It was really nice to find what a penny can still purchase. Namely the book by Philip Teece called "A Dream Of Islands". It cost that from Amazon, plus shipping. The book is really a keeper. Mr. Teece describes many of his experiences sailing his boat around the islands off of Vancouver. His descriptions seemed to catch the moment perfectly. I will be reading this book again. I will wait until his book "Shimmer on the Horizon" a book about that same area with insights shared by both him and his tandem boat partner. Nice way to see that part of the world. It is in hard cover only and still a bit pricy. Thanks, Larry.
