A BOAT IN OUR BAGGAGE Around the World with a Kayak by Maria Coffey

The authors travel the world with and by a folding kayak. This is a used travel book in good, read condition: has been read a few times; pages tanning with age; cover shows wear around the edges with light creasing and general age. Not mint but a good, cheap reading copy. This book is quite hard to find. See photos for cover blurb and sample page(s). The book in the photos is the actual book you will receive - we never use stock pictures - enjoy!

Publisher's blurb: Maria Coffey and her husband Dag paddled their folding kayak around the Solomon Islands, along the Ganges, across Lake Malawi, down the Danube. Unlike many travelers, they talked to the natives of these places about politics, religion, and economics, with good-humored though often sobering results. Fresh, frank, and observant, this is a wonderful piece of travel writing. In this work the author describes how, together with her husband, she travelled around the world with a kayak. It tells of adventures in shark-infested waters around the Solomon Islands, along the River Ganges, and on Lake Malawi. Encounters across the language/culture barriers are also described.
