“Darling, Call the Coast Guard, We're on Fire Again!”
By Catherine Dook

"These are the adventures of the vessel Inuksuk.
The mission: to boldly go where no woman in her right mind would venture unless there was a man involved, to navigate through the waves in a skirt, and to fix things that break down on board before all life savings are spent."

Liveaboards -- people who choose to live permanently on their boats -- are a unique and colourful element along the west coast. Almost every harbour has its floating village and the camaraderie of the docks is legendary. Catherine Dook offers her readers a fond and funny peek inside this unconventional lifestyle, where nothing stays the still and everything depends on the weather.
