Becoming Coastal: 25 Years of Exploration and Discovery of the Britiish Columbia Coast by Paddle, Oar and Sail. By Alex Zimmerman

337 pages of small-boat exploration (some in an Oughtred Sooty Tern) by author Alex Zimmerman. Just published 2020.

"Becoming Coastal is an awe-inspiring collection of memories that describes a transformation from land-dweller to ocean adventurer. Passages call us alongside to hear the trials and errors, exhilarating achievements, and lessons learned. With each paddle stroke from his hand-made crafts, Zimmerman helps us understand the benefits and joys of traveling slowly, deliberately, and respectfully—and the inner growth that comes with it."
