Thank you for the compliment on my writing. I am seriously considering putting these trip reports together as a book. Yet rather than writing a book that is about what I have done I want to write a book that focuses on 'why we paddle'. Why do we take an ancient craft, leave behind the machinery and technology of the modern world, and go to sea with only our physical skills, our mental abilities and our spirits. Also I want to focus on what I have learned about life, myself and the world while in a little boat in a great sea. I would appreciate any thoughts you folks would have on these two aproaches to the book...why do we paddle and what do we discover about ourselves. I have always felt that seakayaking is more than just a hedonistic hobby, but also an Odyessy of self discovery. I would love to paddle with Doug, together I think we could spin some great yarns.
