Awesome Kayaking Book - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just finished reading an amazing story about Ed Gillet's epic paddle from CA to Maui. Old timers may remember his shop on Mission Bay. I remember hearing about this crazy trip way back before I started kayak fishing in the late 80's. Though very little in the book is about fishing, if you are a hard-core paddler it is a must read. "The Pacific Alone" by Dave Shively. Enjoy.

I did alot of Baja paddling trips with Ed back in the 80's - even better hearing the stories first hand! I still have my touring Kayaks I bought from him hanging in the garage.
