Harbord includes both Redonda Islands, Homfray Channel, Desolation Sound, and the three inlets that flow into Malaspina Inlet, which reflect the boundary of the community that existed in the first half of the twentieth century. B&w photos are provided. Harbord has written four previous books, including Sea Kayak: Desolation Sound and the Sunshine Coast. Distributed in the US by Graphic Arts Center Publishing.
