About this listen

An epic memoir of an intrepid solo adventurer, a woman who lived by the philosophy "go simple, go solo, go now".

In a memoir remarkable for its quiet confidence and acute natural observation, the author of Paddling Hawaii and Paddling My Own Canoe begins with her decision, at age 60, to undertake a solo, summer-long voyage along the southeast coast of Alaska in an inflatable kayak. Paddling North is a compilation of Sutherland's first two (of more than 20) such annual trips and her day-by-day travels through the Inside Passage from Ketchikan to Skagway. In 22 years, she encountered more than 30 bears, four wolves, and hundreds of whales. Her lifelong philosophy, "Go simple, go solo, go now", is illustrated in this reflection-filled story of kayaking adventure.

I really enjoyed listening to the story. However, feel a bit chapped about not being able to access her bibliography list in the Audio format. Would have loved to buy books from her list that she mentions throughout the book.

Great Story, missing bibliography list
