The Learning Curve

Thanks, Mary, for the super post!  My vacation took us to the Oregon coast where among other things, I spotted two people taking off through the surf, in their sea kayaks.  Ahhh!!! It looked like fun in their head-to-toe wetsuits! The tide was low, that helped the wave situation, which following the storm on Thursday could've been worse.   One of the main things we planned was to do a 'book run' to Robert's Books in Lincoln City. (on hwy 101).  While Gary brought in his three totes, I made my way to the sports section where I found several  books on kayaking.  I plan on adding a list to the side of these books for a lending library for us locally.  There are currently 13 books ranging in topics such as basic paddling, sea kayaking, navigation, Puget Sound/San Juan/Gulf Islands trip books, and a couple on related topics.  One I'm sure could be of interest is "A River To Run", a more historical book about Glen Wooldridge who regularly ran the Rogue River to Gold Beach.  "The Laugh of the Water Nymph" features a cover photo of a kayaker plunging midway over a waterfall.  This book  has the appeal  of stories told by a person who loves the  adventure of hitting the rivers.   So, when your heels are drying off until your next paddling run, consider one of these books to put more ideas in your head! These books will be available soon.
