 BC Outdoors magazine, our brother publication out on the coast, is holding a fishing derby at Shearwater Resort & Marina on July 17-20. And they have a limited number of spots left over -- available at 50% off.

In fact, it’s the relaxing nature of most of my summertime pursuits that draws me to them in the first place. But — like you — many of my pursuits are
