What makes travel special? Perhaps the chill realization that a polar
bear's eyes are fixed on you. Maybe it is the chance meeting with a
man who buries sharks in a beach, only to dig them up months later,
not out of morbid curiosity, but for food. Perhaps it is the
undulating wing-beat of a dark shell-less gastropod in the canal of a
17th Century French sea port, or the criminal history of a rusting
ship with a tree growing from its hold. Encounters in a Kayak brings
the reader along on the magical experiences that surround sea
kayaking. It’s about the animals, people, and special places around
the globe that have grabbed the attention of renowned kayaker and
writer Nigel Foster. His irrepressible curiosity drives him to tease
out the unexpected stories hidden behind his subjects. These nuggets
from around the world are bound together by water and a centuries-old
form of sea travel: kayak. The result is a book of broad appeal for
those interested in kayaking, traveling, and adventure.
