Well, I have to admit I was a tad nervous about posting the review here, knowing
that Don would read it.  Had I known that all three of you hung out here, I'd 
probably not have posted it!  You know, it's not good manners to criticize folks
etc.  However, I hope that the review came across the way I intended - the 
criticisms are pretty minor.

I actually purchased the first book in error!  I had confused it with "Kayaking 
Georgian Bay", a recently released book by Jonathon Reynolds and Heather Smith.
I didn't know the title and only knew that the authors were a man and women,
so the eastern Great Lakes book seemed to match.  Then I received the Qayaq 
newsletter of GLSKA and saw Sandy Richardson's review of the Georgian Bay book.
Oops!  Anyway, Sandy's review was somewhat negative, so I guess I chose the 
right one.  

Thanks for the books - I'll be making use of them for years to come.

PS - the route nearest my house is the Humber River one.  If you paddle and
drag your kayak another 1.5 km up the river (over the rocks and dams), turn
right and go straight up the "cliff", then continue west one block, you'll 
be at our house.  I prefer to exit the water at the yacht club and car-top 
the kayak the rest of the way.
