[Paddlewise] On Celtic Tides

Can someone compare this book with "Dances with Waves" by Brian Wilson?  I 
just finished "Dances with Waves" and am curious how they compare, since 
they are so similar in subject matter.

Thanks to whoever it was on the list who recommended "Dances with Waves", I 
*really* enjoyed it!
