‘Klee Wyck Journal” to be Shared by Author May 25

Lou McKee will read from and discuss her book, “Klee Wyck Journal,” Friday, May 25, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room.
This book is full of illustrations and the stories of the people and adventures involved in the building of a coastal wilderness shelter hidden among old rain-forest firs and cedars and dense salal bush.
The author, her husband, family and friends reach this remote shore by kayak. There are no roads nor pathways. No docks nor safe buoys. They land on a little sheltered spit in a bay that is otherwise open ocean surf. In time, a trail is forged into the woods to build a cedar cabin to shelter them from the rain that can drench (and beautify) this sea coast.
McKee is a professional artist, a kayaker and now, an author. Born on the coast of British Columbia, the sea and misty islands are in her blood and still call her to travel and explore in Sweet Chariot, her 47 year old kayak. Her husband, David Verwolf, also shares this sea-kayaking spirit.
