This book has served as the log of some boat (not named) from August 31, 1957 to August 11, 1960. All pages have been written in (in pencil). The boat apparently sailed in the waters of lower Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands. Included loose are a couple of receipts for gasoline purchases. Some names of guests or people met are included in the "Daily Notes and Sketches" pages, but the seller could find nothing apart from the first names of the couple who owned the boat.. Unknown.
