Spirited Waters
by Jennifer Hahn
http://www.mountaineersbooks.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=1476
In this insightful account of her solo voyage in a sixteen-foot kayak, Jennifer Hahn vividly relates the ecstatic moments and terrifying predicaments of paddling against the wind through 750 miles along Alaska's Inside Passage. Not only does Hahn’s adventure include dramatic encounters with animals and heartwarming experiences with coastal characters, but we are treated to her own illustrations.
She has the ability of writing to allow the reader to feel like we are along for the adventure. She not only give us an inside view into what she sees but also what she feels. We appreciated her research and sharing history of the areas. Much more than a memoir, Spirited Waters is a remarkable blend of adventure travel, natural history, and personal challenge.
