Gcosloy Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Just finished, Little Ship of Fools by Charles Wilkins. Subtitled: 16 rowers, i improbable boat, 7 tumultuous weeks on the Atlantic. It's not kayaking but it has all of the thrills and fears that paddling on the open ocean can invoke. If you have ever or frequently been outside your comfort zone on the ocean you will enjoy this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhabich Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 On Polar Tides: Paddling and Surviving the Coast of Northern Labrador, by Nigel Foster. Documents his 2004 trip. A good read. How to Read a Nautical Chart, by Nigel Calder. All the material in NOAA chart 1 and more, in a format that's actually readable. Not much of a plot and weak character development, but at least it's by a Nigel. Great resource to sharpen up on charts from outside the US. Trawler: A Journey Through the North Atlantic, Redmond O'Hanlon. A damned fool joins an Orkney trawler crew for a fishing trip in a hurricane. Manic, funny.
