Shown below right, Surprise at Toba Wildernest, Desolation Sound.       Bob has been boating in the Northwest for most of his life. His early careers included editor of Nor'westing magazine and freelance photographer, and in 1981 he founded Robert Hale & Co. Inc., a manufacturer's rep business now grown into the world's largest specialty wholesaler of nautical books.       Along with distributing books, Bob began writing and publishing reference guides for boating in the Northwest. In the early 1990s while researching early editions of his popular waypoint guides for the Northwest, the Weatherly Waypoint Guides, Vols. 1 & 2 (Volume 3 was published in 1998), Bob became frustrated with existing local boating guidebooks. In 1994, he produced the first Waggoner Cruising Guide. Now in its 17th year, The Waggoner has become the Northwest's best selling cruising guide.       To learn more about Bob and the story of the Waggoner, choose the topic below. • More About Author Bob Hale
