[Paddlewise] Too many books, so little time

Peter, the books arrived yesterday and they are AWESOME!

For those who don't remember, Peter O from Australia attended a conference in 
Fort Lauderdale (Florida) last year.  I picked him up from his hotel and took 
him for some  paddling in the Keys.  He subsequently wrote a Paddling with 
Sandy trip report.

On May 16 he told me he had sent some books - unfortunately, I'm only allowed 
to keep one of them; the other two have designated recipients.  I hope I 
don't forget :)

I don't know if they were on the book lists discussed last year, but the 
selection is stunning.

COLD OCEANS - Adventures in Kayak, Rowboat, and Dogsled by Jon Turk. 
Hardback. (ISBN 0-06-019147-3)  "...the thrilling story of Jon Turk's 
expeditions to some of the most inhospitable regions on earth...Cape Horn, 
Northwest Passage....Arctic blizzards."

FATAL STORM - The 54th Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race by Rob Mundle.
Paperback (ISBN 0-7322-6435-9).  "In 1998 it [the race] became one of the 
world's major sporting disasters.  Six sailors tragically perished, countless 
others suffered injuries and numerous yachts sank or were badly damaged."  
Has more than 75 color photos - gripping.

The DREAMTIME Voyage - Around Australia Kayak Odyssey by Paul Caffyn 
Large paperback  (ISBN 0-473-02349-0)  "...the first kayak circumnavigation 
of Australia, a 360 day, 9,420 mile epic."  There are photos on practically 
every page.  

Can't wait to read these books!

And, yes, Peter, I do agree with your recommended choice of who should get 
which book - I just don't agree that I should have to part with any of them!

MANY THANKS, PETER.  When's your next conference?
