[HL] > 2. Happy Isles of Oceana by Paul Theroux - If you like Theroux you will > probably like this book. There was a question of accuracy relating to Tristan Jones, here's another writer with inaccuracies. Theroux at his usual unlikeable self. With reference to his Fiji section, inaccurate and unlikeable. One village he was unwelcome at, we had them begging us to come to stay at their village versus the other village. Incidently if you paddle west from Nambuwala, there's 100+ km of open sea. I was told that he had time to write one section of the Australian bit or paddle it but not do both ..... > 3. The Starship and the Canoe by Ken Brown - Its way out there but was a > pleasant diversion. Definitely interesting. > 4. Kayaking the Vermilion Sea by Jonathon Waterman - I only wish I had the time > to do the trip. As others noted, an odd couple. So much nicer to have a compatable paddling companion. -- ---------------------------------------------------- Alex Ferguson a.ferguson_at_chem.canterbury.ac.nz Electronics Workshop, Chem Dept, Univ of Canterbury Christchurch, New Zealand *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Sun Nov 22 1998 - 16:38:13 PST
