Hard to Find Paddle Books
While we're on the subject of paddling, I thought I'd post about this feature from Sea Kayaker on hard to find paddling books. I just recently got my hands on Jon Bowermaster's Alone Against the Sea and Other True Adventures, which I plan to review here shortly. But there are several othe gems that paddlephiles might be interested in at least knowing about, even if they can't be found on Amazon. A book like Enchanted Vagabonds (1938) by Dana Lamb is one that held my interest. The Lambs, Ginger and Dana, left San Diego in 1933 and paddled and sailed their hybrid kayak/canoe/sailboat to the Panama Canal. A very impressive feat at a time when couples just didn't do those kinds of things. Another is Kayaks to the Arctic (1967) by E. B. Nickerson, another couple's adventure that has the Nickersons taking three Klepper folding kayaks to Fort Providence in the Canadian Northwest Territories. The list goes on. Check it out.
