Teddi Bear is a 55ft Florida Bay Coaster. She was built in New Zealand and shipped back to Alaska via Mexico, the United States then onto British Columbia. I dedicated this book to our friends which we spent time cruising the inside passage Alaska on Teddi Bear. Putting everything together in a book makes a wonderful memory to look back on all the little things you tend to forget. We are meeting up with Teddi Bear in Vancouver Canada for another visit, this time cruising the Broughton Islands. I'm truly looking forward to giving John and Teddi this book as a gift for their wonderful hospitality. Hopefully this next trip will be my second book I will make after returning home to New Zealand via Hawaii August 2010
