I have to agree with Doug about Chris Duff's "Round Ireland" show. I caught it at the symposium a couple of years ago, and it was one of the best presentations I'd ever seen. Seems like he mentioned turning it into a show for public television, or a book. Does anyone know about that? Tina Portland, OR >Best Presentation - Chris Duff.

Some of his pictures are included. Even though they're black & white, they're quite wonderful.

RE: Chris Duff's circumnavigation of Ireland, 1996 - The book is now available, title "On Celtic Tides" ISBN #0-312-205089. I saw his presentation at the LL Bean kayak symposium last July, and bought the book there. Even for those who have heard the talk and seen the slides, the book is fascinating, and adds significantly to the whole story. It also gives some further insight into Chris' spiritual connection to the paddling, to the sea, and to Ireland. The descriptions of the sea and the weather, the paddling difficulties, are the best-written parts of his story, in my opinion. While I wouldn't consider it one of the best books I've ever read, it is one of the best *travelogues* I've read. I think anyone who has an interest in paddling, and many who don't share that interest, will enjoy the book tremendously.

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! -Jessica At 08:46 AM 9/22/99 -0400, Bhansen97_at_aol.com wrote: >RE: Chris Duff's circumnavigation of Ireland, 1996 - The book is now >available, title "On Celtic Tides" ISBN #0-312-205089.
