Welcome!

Here’s my shortlist of favourite books that I’ve read on our long distance sea kayaking adventures. Some of these books set the tone and others reflected the mood. In my opinion, good books and good food are well worth their weight when travelling—even when I’m hauling them down and up the beach, from camp to boat and then from boat to camp, two times a day.

This list is a work in progress. So please leave a comment if you’ve read something that fits the occasion.

Like the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) radio, The Guardian Weekly is staple in our family.

 

We get our family or friend to send us The Guardian Weekly in a General Delivery package, along with dehydrated food and other goodies,, to communities that we stop at along the way to resupply.
