:

Sea Kayaker's Deep Trouble by Matt Broze

Shawn (and everyone else who has read this book), can you expand on why you like this book? I've seen it touted many times so I went and bought it 6-8 months ago. I realize it is the only book of its type for kayaking, but for me it was one of the most uninteresting books I've ever read. I think Matt is a great guy but I couldn't get in to the very clinical analysis of each person's misadventure, and many of the stories as told by the people involved were difficult for me to get through as well.

Just curious what I'm missing... Maybe I was expecting more adventure. I just seemed to miss underscoring the real danger these people were in.

P.S. Not related to HOW to kayak, but a book I'm currently enjoying is "Homelands: Kayaking the Inside Passage". I like journal style books, so if you folks know of any others like this please let me know!
