The Pacific Alone: The Untold Story of Kayaking’s Boldest Voyage
by Shively, Dave
CAD $24.95
In the summer of 1987, 36-year-old Ed Gillet achieved an amazing first: a solo crossing from California to Hawaii by kayak. An accomplished sailor and paddler, Gillet navigated by sextant and always knew his position within a few miles, but there were other major challenges. He endured terrible saltwater sores, broke the kayak’s rudder, ran into other calamities–and made his destination four days after his food ran out. Shively’s gripping account won the 2019 National Outdoor Book Award for Outdoor Literature.
