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.
