I'll second "Rowing to Latitude" (Fredston) and "Homelands" (Byron Ricks) -- the latter for its writing and the former for the amazing things they did. "Homelands" is invigorating, poignant, and solid. I loved the careful way Byron treated disappearing cultures in Alaska -- white and native both. Bill Weitzel's rec of a narrative by a woman who soloed the Inside Passage must be for "Spirited Waters" by Jennifer Hahn. It is a hell of a book -- well written, and full of the spirit of place I identify with the Pacific Northwest. Jennifer has plenty of adventures, and is very much in tune with the natural environment. And, I learned a new way to do roasted spuds! -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
