Download or read book The Pacific Alone written by Dave Shively and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-10-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2019 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Literature! In the summer of 1987 Ed Gillet achieved what no person has accomplished before or since, a solo crossing from California to Hawaii by kayak. Gillet, at the age of 36 an accomplished sailor and paddler, navigated by sextant and always knew his position within a few miles. Still, Gillet underestimated the abuse his body would take from the relentless, pounding, swells of the Pacific, and early into his voyage he was covered with salt water sores and found that he could find no comfortable position for sitting or sleeping. Along the way he endured a broken rudder, among other calamities, but at last reached Maui on his 63rd day at sea, four days after his food had run out. Dave Shively brings Gillet’s remarkable story to life in this gripping narrative, based on exclusive access to Gillet’s logs as well as interviews with the legendary paddler himself.

Book Synopsis On Island Time by : Scott B. Williams
Download or read book On Island Time written by Scott B. Williams and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2009-09-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourists visit popular islands of the Caribbean by the planeload. What they don't see from their resort hotels are the hundreds of out-of-the-way, uninhabited islands sprinkled along the West Indies from Florida to South America. This alluring archipelago, strung with beaches accessible only by boat but spaced temptingly close together, led Mississippi adventurer Scott B. Williams to embark upon an open-ended quest to see how far south he could go in a seventeen-foot sea kayak. No one was willing to accompany him. He spent months working his way down the west coast of Florida, through the Bahamas, and on to Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. On Island Time: Kayaking the Caribbean, his narrative of this journey of a lifetime, describes the wonders of discovery as he makes landfall on pristine cays. Relentless headwinds, dangerous surf, countless beaches declared off-limits to trespassing, and aggressive sharks that ram his kayak and snap him out of his musing remind the adventurer that this paradise is far from perfect. Every day of the journey required constant vigilance. With no one to depend on and often no one even knowing where he was for weeks at a time, Williams learned what it means to be self-reliant and to adjust to “island time.” With just a simple craft and the few belongings that would fit in it, Williams explores an almost boundless frontier and a powerful natural stretch of the Caribbean rarely, if ever, accessed by the island tourist.

Book Synopsis Encounters from a Kayak by : Nigel Foster
Download or read book Encounters from a Kayak written by Nigel Foster and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes travel special? Perhaps the chill realization that a polar bear's eyes are fixed on you. Maybe it is the chance meeting with a man who buries sharks in a beach, only to dig them up months later, not out of morbid curiosity, but for food. Perhaps it is the undulating wing-beat of a dark shell-less gastropod in the canal of a 17th Century French sea port, or the criminal history of a rusting ship with a tree growing from its hold.Encounters in a Kayak brings the reader along on the magical experiences that surround sea kayaking. It’s about the animals, people, and special places around the globe that have grabbed the attention of renowned kayaker and writer Nigel Foster. His irrepressible curiosity drives him to tease out the unexpected stories hidden behind his subjects. These nuggets from around the world are bound together by water and a centuries-old form of sea travel: kayak. The result is a book of broad appeal for those interested in kayaking, traveling, and adventure.

Download or read book Solo written by Vicki McAuley and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 11th, 2007, Andrew McCauley set off from Tasmania in a sea kayak, aiming to be the first person to paddle the 1600 kilometres to New Zealand. A month later, New Zealand authorities received a garbled distress call from him. His kayak was spotted drifting and waterlogged just 80 kilometres from the New Zealand coast. His body was never found.Vicki McAuley, Andrew's wife and the mother of his young child, has written an extraordinary book about her husband and his final voyage. It is a love story, an adventure story and a meditation on what it is to feel most alive, even when so brazenly tempting death. Not since 'Into Thin Air' have we come closer to understanding the adrenaline rush of high adventure, and its tragic consequences.
Book Synopsis The Twilight Zone of the Huntress by : Kay Evon Sampson
Download or read book The Twilight Zone of the Huntress written by Kay Evon Sampson and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Twilight Zone of the Huntress is a collection of short stories relaying the author’s adventures over the past 19 years, beginning when she married her current husband. At age 54, Kay Evon Sampson married a big game hunter and soon became one herself.At 65, she harvested a Kodiak brown bear and a mountain goat on Kodiak Island, and traveled to Namibia to hunt additional animals. She was consequently awarded the Safari Club International’s Diana Award.Sampson says, "The story of my husband’s experience of being mauled by a huge male African lion and our crash landing in a plane out in the bush in Tanzania the following year is included in the book. My life with my big game hunter has been a ‘wild ride’ over the past 19 years with never a dull moment."When it comes to hunting, she believes, "It is much more humane to allow an animal to live out its life in a natural setting and then quickly dispatch it, rather than pen up a cow in what my husband calls a ‘cow concentration camp’ for the sole purpose of raising it to kill for meat and leather."
Book Synopsis Threading a Kayak down the Mississippi by : Dennis Van Norman
Download or read book Threading a Kayak down the Mississippi written by Dennis Van Norman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, Dennis Van Norman climbed into a kayak for the first time to spend an afternoon “Huck Finning” down the Mississippi River with his son and grandson. Little did he know that what started as an innocent, eight-mile kayaking introduction would eventually become a passion—or an addiction. He spent thirteen years, from his sixties through his mid-seventies, kayaking the length of the Mississippi, bit by bit, traveling more than 2,500 river miles from northern Minnesota to the southern tip of Louisiana in a boat built for one. Threading a Kayak down the Mississippi is the story of how one traveler fully experienced and embraced the Mississippi River and its surroundings. In the vein of Jonathan Raban's Old Glory, Dennis's account casts light on the Mississippi River’s history, geography, and sociology, but it is a book about more than the river itself—it’s also about the individuals and characters living along the Mississippi’s shores. From the local foods and music to the customs and history, each experience is sandwiched between moments of pure serenity and those of sheer terror. This is the story of a journey of discovery on the country’s most celebrated waterway, and an exploration of the wonderment, joy, and fear that will inevitably grab hold of you when you’re sitting alone in a fourteen-foot plastic boat on America’s greatest river.
