Dag and Maria's wonderful adventure

I bought this book because I have just bought my first kayak and I can't wait for the days in the far future when I can go on such wonderful adventures as what these two, obviously wonderful people, have done. I have a love of British Columbia, and especially Vancouver Island, which their book reinforces with their descriptions of the scenery and the people of the Island, who I have found to be some of the friendliest folks in the world. A great read.

A Must Read

My first thought after finishing this book was that I'd like to read it again....immediately! I found myself caught up in the magic and excitement of Dag and Maria's adventure, entertained by their humor and awed by their endurance.
Dag's pictures are a real treat. Beyond supporting the story, they are works of art on their own. Not only is this a teriffic adventure tale, it is a great picture book.
For those who like to venture into the wild, or read about those who do, this book will satisfy. If you can't be out there doing it, a book like this is the next best thing.
