Paddling North (Hardcover)

In a tale remarkable for its unselfconscious self reliance and acute natural observation, the author begins with her decision, at age 60, to undertake a solo, summerlong voyage along the southeast coast of Alaska in an inflatable kayak. Published by Patagonia, Paddling North is a compilation of Sutherland's first two of over 20 such annual trips and her day by day travels through the Inside Passage from Ketchikan to Skagway. With maps, illustrations and the author's recipes.
