About the Author
Skipper-author Dale R. Petersen is a third generation Puget Sound boater. His grandfather came from Denmark in the nineteeth century to farm and to work on the first floating dry-dock on Puget Sound. Transportation for him was a rowboat. His father built a boat in Alaska for his work and built them for his pleasure on Puget Sound. Dale built his first boat and with six boats has plied wates from coast for over fifty years. Cruising the waters of Alaska and British Columbia for him in an ultimate retirement fulfillment of dreams. Writing about his boating adventures is a sharing for the pleasure of others.
The author in this book shares his cruises to Alaska two times, in the Queen Charlotte Islands four times, around Vancouver Island twice and more with side trips. Dale's preferred journeys were in his 21-ft Bayliner Trophy, Day by Day. Articles published in Nor'westing magazine and slide show seminars at the Seattle Boat Show, both by the author, validate his zest for adventure. As time passes, if you go where Petersen did, you will see changes, but much of the material in this book is timeless. The safety, tips and tricks inside can help any who dream of cruising.
