<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The first person to take a solo sea kayak journey around the British Isles recounts the fascinating 1,200-mile, three-month adventure--a mission of geography, culture, and history as well as self-discovery. "Here is a fine, old-fashioned travelogue. Duff sallies forth and returns with a magical story for those left behind".--"Kirkus Reviews". 16-page photo insert.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A sea kayak battles the freezing Irish waters as the morning sun rises out of the countryside. On the western horizon is the pinnacle of Skellig Michael-700 feet of vertical rock rising out of exploding seas. Somewhere on the isolated island are sixth-century monastic ruins where the light of civilization was kept burning during the Dark Ages by early Christian Irish monks. Puffins surface a few yards from the boat, as hundreds of gannets wheel overhead on six foot wing spans. The ocean rises violently and tosses paddler and boat as if they were discarded flotsam. This is just one day of Chris Duff's incredible three month journey.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Chris Duff</b> has traveled over 14,000 miles by sea kayak since 1983 when he paddled 8,000 miles around the eastern third of the United States and Canada.
