Recently I had the idea that after the bike trip it would be fun to do a
long (4-6 month?) sea kayak trip.  Alaska to Seattle is a
destination that really appeals to me. However...  I've only sea-kayaked
a few times...My fiancé is the same.

I haven't been following the thread, so just ignore this if you've heard
it, but you might want to read _Homelands, Kayaking the Inside Passage_,
by Byron Ricks. This was a trip from Glacier Bay to Seattle by Ricks
and his wife. Not a whole lot of kayak technique stuff, but he gives a
good flavor for the environment, cultures, etc of the area. Also the
emotions he felt under various circumstances.
