Shelter From the Storm: A Sailor's Life of Havens, High Seas, and Discovery

by June Cameron

Overview

Buying Saffron, a 24-foot racing sailboat, was an act of desperation meant to help single parent June Cameron and her youngest son validate themselves. It did that and more. A friend persuaded June to race the boat, and over the next decade June, either solo or with her all-female crew, competed in BC's major sailing races, taking home a lot of the hardware for their class.

Shelter from the Storm is a fascinating memoir about finding one's place, even if that place is at sea.

About the Author

June Cameron has sailed the coast of BC since the mid-1970s and was a competitive sailor for more than a decade. She was the first woman to race her own boat in all of the major BC sailing races. She spent six years living on a small cruiser, researching and writing her first two books, Destination Cortez Island and Shelter from the Storm. She then came home to the scene of her happy childhood summers when she bought a cottage on the shores of Cortes Bay, known in the early pioneer days as Blind Creek. She has since sold her cruiser but still has her own dock, where she keeps a speedy little Davidson rowboat that she also sails on bright summer days.
