5.0 out of 5 stars A well-researched, detailed guide that is a joy to read, 27 April 1999
By A Customer
I got this book almost by accident..I live in NYC and am pretty well aquainted with these shores but when a buddy sent me this book along with a invitation to spend ten days sea-kayaking along the Pacific I could not resist. I read the book from cover to cover before I left. I was impressed with how detailed it is and delighted that the author chose to share some of her discoveries with us. I would certainly reccomend this guide to kayakers like myself who want to venture into new, expertly charted waters.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource, 30 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Whether your kayaking is mostly of the armchair variety or whether you're heading out to sea right now, this book will be a great resource. It's chock full of details about trips in and around northern California, easy to read and up to the minute. Descriptions are enticing, with suggested launch, picnic, and camp sites given amid observations on wildlife and scenery. Trips run the gamut between pleasant paddles for the novice and huffing-puffing challenges for experienced sea kayackers. The book looks easy to use and is clearly laid out for quick checks on a particular cove or waterway as well as for browsing through the counties you have on your list for your next adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide for beginners to advanced N. Cal paddles, 27 Dec 1998
By A Customer
A comprehensive guide - finally - has arrived for Northern California Sea Kayaking! I took this book out with me over the holidays, and discovered several nearby paddles. I really liked the skill levels and the elements described on each trip - made trip planning alot easier and the paddles so much more enjoyable! Plus the sections on Getting Ready were very instructive, and a wonderful section in the back about the kayaking community. Well written, good drive maps, and an essential guide for Northern Cal sea kayakers.
