Four interesting books:

"Paddle to the Amazon":  13000 mile trip from Winnipeg to mouth of
Amazon in a canoe with son

"Paddle to the Artic":  insane trip over the top over a couple of
summers

Victoria Jason  <=== not as insane as Don, but close

"Kabloona in a Yellow Kayak":  with Starkell on part of the Artic trip;
then finished on her own...

David Hayes and Daniel Hayes <==  father/son combo

"My Old Man and the Sea":  17,000 mile sailing trip in 25 ft sailboat
fronm East Coast all the way around South America including the
treacherous Cape Horn
