OAR & SAIL, An Odyssey of the West Coast, Join Dr. Leighton as he melds a love of language, Gaelic wit, and the sea in a story set on one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.
At 66, Dr. Ken Leighton, former head of anaesthesia at the University of British Columbia Hospital, set off from Vancouverâs Jericho Beach in a custom-built, open rowing boat. Two years and a full logbook later, with calloused hands and a joyful heart, he docked the Morag Anne in Prince Rupert, 500 miles north of his launching point. The evocative illustrations were drawn for Oar & Sail by Dr. Roderick Leighton, Ken Leightonâs son. The maps were drawn by Anne Maclean.
