On a 5 week paddle in Canada's Northwest Territories this summer, my wife
read me long excerpts from this woman's adventures in the Faroe Islands in
1915.....the description of boiled puffins... well it DID take my mind off
the storm-tossed lake out our tent door. And, it is very much about boats
and water.

The Far Islands and Other Cold Places : Travel Essays of a Victorian Lady
Elizabeth Taylor, James Taylor Dunn (Editor); Paperback

Oh, well, while we're on the topic of women's diaries, here's another:

"Libby - The Alaskan Diaries and Letters of Libby Beaman, 1879-1880,..."
    ISBN  0-395-49325-0   PB   $9.95


Sandy Kramer who has decided that you P'wisers have "forced" me to go to the 
Book Fair next weekend to see if she can find (cheap, I hope) some of the 
books on the new shopping list - fortunately it's payday on Friday.  

And yes, I do frequent my library assiduously, it's just that I have a hard 
time finding what I'm looking for and, for some strange reason, never bother 
about putting it on the inter-library request list.  I guess it's cos I'm an 
"instant gratification" person.
