So how did two San Diego trailer-sailors fall in love with Lake Huron’s North Channel? The answer is Marjorie Cahn Brazer’s classic cruising guide, Well-Favored Passage, first published in 1975 in Toronto….and yes it was spelled “Well-Favoured Passage.” Friends loaned us a copy of her third 1987 edition (now a collectible) and she took us to enchanting, wilderness anchorages and charming Canadian ports-of-call. Marjorie, who left us in 1992, was also an exquisite storyteller….”The Great Sawmill Robbery,” “The Curse of the Bearwalk” and more are still found in our updated, greatly expanded 2012 edition of Well-Favored Passage: The Magic of Lake Huron’s North Channel. It comes replete with GPS coordinates. Heirs to her remarkable legacy, our new edition is intended to share the rapture of cruising the North Channel. Bon Voyage! – Captain Pixie Haughwout and First Mate Ralph Folsom

PORTS Lake Ontario Cruising Guide 2012 and More

Hot off the presses is the 2012 edition of the PORTS Cruising Guide to Lake Ontario. The PORTS Cruising Guides have long been our favourite guides, not just of the Great Lakes, but of all the Cruising Guides out there. Their layout, aerial photos, writing style, and useful yachty tips make them both indispensable and fun. Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you plan on sailing or power-boating around on Lake Ontario, you absolutely need this book. See also their guides to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, The Trent-Severn, and The Rideau & Ottawa River.
