You might want to check out 'Paddle to the Amazon' by Don Starkle. This book provides a good background into the adventerous paddle partner Victoria Jason choose and one you might enjoy reading. It certainly illuminates the character once you understand the context for some of his behavior in the Arctic. 'The Starship & The Canoe by Kenneth Brower is a 270 page book (about George Dyson and his famous Physicist father George Dyson. The Chicago Sun-Times describes it as "the kind of book that seeks you in time. I personally found it a fascinating read for it also spurred me on to build my own baidarka. I would buy the book again. A third book you might find worth reading is 'DEEP WATER PASSAGE' by Ann Linnea who's 65 day 1200 mile aventure paddle around Lake Superior was set in the spiritual context of a midlife reappraisal of everything in her life. Certainly offers some insight into the power or the lake and associated risks venturing out on that body of water. Two of these books tell me there are some pretty damn tough, brave and intuitive women paddlers in this world. I salute them both. Sea Kayaker - Deep Trouble by Matt Broze and George Gronseth is a must read book for all.
