Born in Hampshire, England, Laurence Yeadon-Jones is an architect and designer with special talents for unique, accurately detailed maps and imaginative photography. He and his wife Anne are experienced offshore and inshore sailors, who in 1985 voyaged from Southampton, England on their first sailing expedition across the Atlantic Ocean. They have logged thousands of cruising hours charting, recording and photographing their adventures along the beautifully rugged southern coastline of the Pacific Northwest. To date they have produced six colourful, information-packed Dreamspeaker Cruising Guides and see themselves as passionate ambassadors of the area's unspoiled cruising waters, it's coastal communities and local enterprises. Anne and Laurence are also regular contributors to local and international boating magazines.
