Rainshadow encouraged me to become an author

Rainshadow sailed us along the Washington, British Columbia and Southeast Alaska coasts for 6 years. We learned a lot along the way, including what a tough boat she is.

So after we made a passage to Hawaii in 2016, I decided it was time to write down all my local northwest knowledge in a reference book called Taken By the Wind: The Northwest Coast.

You can find this book available at many online retailers, including Amazon.

Taken By the Wind: The Northwest Coast

I hope anyone who cruises the area will find it a useful reference for sailing this tricky coast.
