Have and willing to share for free after July, 2011 (but do express your interest now), one of John Kimantas' wonderful books giving an in-the-kayak view of a part of the coast of British Columbia, The Wild West Coast 3 covers B.C. South Coast and the East Coast of Vancouver Island. 536 pages covering from the Gulf Islands through the Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound, Discovery Passage, and Johnstone Strait, to the Broughton Archipelago and Queen Charlotte Sound. The kayaker at Ecomarine on Granville Island who sold the book to me said John Kimantas has written the best books about the coast from a paddlers' perspective. So far, even using the book as a planning tool for a sailboat cruise and not for kayaking, it does seem that the claim is a fair one.
