Southern Exposure (Book) by Chris Duff

Duff, author of On Celtic Tides tells of his solo kayak trip around New Zealand's South Island. The intense and often terrifying journey was balanced by serendipitous meetings along the way with the friendly New Zealanders and with the diverse wildlife of this tiny, remote island country. His is not just an account of physical endurance and determination to attempt what had only been accomplished once before, but an exquisite narrative that reveals the philosophical and psychological life of a man who has chosen the sea as the master to sit before and to learn from. 288 pages.
