The book, OOPS! Boating's Close Encounters and Awkward Moments, is an interesting one by Vassilopoulos
It is not a cruising guide but rather a collection of boating experiences and learning curves. It has a touch of humour and a number of serious boating situations to be avoided. The book concludes with advice on buying a boat and some input on safety and regulations by naval architect John Simpson. |
About the Author
Peter Vassilopoulos is a long-time West Coast boater who has travelled the Pacific Northwest coast extensively and contributed to numerous boating publications—Pacific Yachting Magazine in particular.
Since 1994 he has produced a series of best-selling marine guides: Docks & Destinations; Anchorages and Marine Parks; North of Desolation Sound (The Broughton Islands); Gulf Islands Cruising Guide and Cruising to Desolation Sound, which includes Howe Sound and the Sunshine Coast. His latest works include a coffee-table, hard-covered book about the marine artist John M. Horton (published by Heritage House). His earliest book, Antiques Afloat (1981), on historical local pleasure craft, remains a highly regarded work.
