Mark, Thanks for the work you put into these reports. It's not just the fun of watching and reading, but we - well I - get to see places where other paddlers get to play, which broadens my horizons in a way. I was at the first Canadian-presented slide show of Nigel Foster's Labrador trip tonight here in Victoria. Nigel and Kristen were entertaining - and as usual - humble and graceful. There were lots of polar bear stories. And historical perspectives of Inuit peoples being displaced and relocated - sad. Kind of ties in with the book Chuck mentioned the other day. I noticed some new books at the kayak store where Nigel was giving his show. One of them is written by a friend of mine, Alex Mathews about rough water kayaking. It might be worth your while to take a gander at it. It's a little more sea kayaked based than say the Tsunami Ranger books which are targeted at a narrower audience, I think.

Here's a fun place to kayak: http://www.wel-shikoku.gr.jp/eng/seto/uzusio.htm Doug Lloyd (no affiliation with the above products) Victoria BC > My fourth day straight on the water. I'm gettin' tired.
