A Letter from a Reader

DEAR MRS. WRIGHT:
THIS MESSAGE IS IN RESPONSE TO OUR CONVERSATION AT THE SEATTLE BOAT SHOW LAST JANUARY AFTER HEARING YOUR PRINCESS LOUISA PRESENTATION.  WHILE PURCHASING YOUR BOOK I MENTIONED OUR EXPERIENCE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL SPOT DURING SEPTEMBER, 1986 AND YOU ASKED ME TO SEND AN E-MAIL SHARING THE STORY.
WE WERE TIED UP TO THE DOCK BENEATH CHATTERBOX FALLS. IT WAS LATE EVENING WHEN OUR NEIGHBOR RAPPED ON THE DOOR AND TOLD ME, MY WIFE AND THE COUPLE WITH US TO COME OUT AND SEE THE BEAUTIFUL DISPLAY OF NORTHERN LIGHTS. OF COURSE WE DID SO AND REMAINED FOR SEVERAL HOURS ACTUALLY LAYING DOWN ON THE DOCK LOOKING UP AT ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS WE HAD EVER SEEN! IT WAS AS IF ANGELS WERE HOVERING OVER US. A KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLORS IN DIFFERENT INTENSITIES DRIFTED AND SWIRLED IN AND OUT ABOVE US.
IF ONE COULD PICTURE AN IDYLLIC SECOND COMING OF CHRIST, THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTHLY SETTING AND THE HEAVENLY SHOW WOULD HAVE BEEN IT.
IRONICALLY A YACHT IN EXCESS OF 55′, TIED UP TO THE END OF THE DOCK, WAS RUNNING THEIR GENERATOR AND WATCHING VIDEOS. WE WERE UNABLE TO GET THEIR ATTENTION.  UNBELIEVABLE!
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE LECTURE AND THE BOOK. WE ENJOYED BOTH TREMENDOUSLY!

CURT AND EILEEN

16′ or 116′

No matter whether you’re in 16 foot boat or a 116 foot boat, the rules for safe cruising and the beauty you will see are all the same and those rules for safe cruising are all in my book, carefully woven around the fascinating tale I tell”.  Betty

Sechelt Rapids

In the book, “Adventuring to Princess Louisa Inlet‘, author, Betty Wright, talks about the Sechelt Rapids in the Skookumchuck Narrows.

While visiting the area in June of 2011, we took a ride on a zodiac through the rapids.  The ride was, well I will just say it, “a blast”.

Soaring through the rapids with a skilled captain, was more fun and exhilarating to me than a roller coaster ride.
