Reviews

"As a paddler and a traveler, Audrey Sutherland is someone to value, and this book about her Alaskan voyages is a marvelous addition to the literature of coastal kayaking. What I admire most about Audrey is her independence, her solitary travel, her patience, and her unflappable attitude in the most challenging paddling conditions." Paul Theroux, author of The Tao of Travel: Enlightenments from Lives on the Road, My Paddling North book is now dog-eared and written in, and I will quote Audrey Sutherland for her industriousness and inquisitive nature, and because she's the type of person I'd like to be in my eighties (and now).Decades of life are compressed here, not to be processed or worked through, but honestly experienced in an organic way--because moving through the natural world also lets her mind wander back in time and place. -- SheExplores.com, "Audrey Sutherland finished raising her children, quit her job, and took off in her inflatable canoe for the sublime treachery of Alaskan tidal waters. She had me on the second paragraph when she expressed her philosophy that has carried her through more than 8,000 miles of paddling: 'Go simple, go solo, go now.' The genre of adventure narratives has just been enriched by a new voice of inspiration." Jonathan Waterman, author of Running Dry: A Journey from Source to Sea Down the Colorado River, 'Audrey's story is the stuff legends are made from. For the 30 years that I've known her she has been an inspiration to both women and men -- often shaming us into action with her exhortation to go solo and keep it simple, an approach that flies in the face of the consumer style of kayaking that most of us adhere to." John Dowd, author of Sea Kayaking: A Manual for Long-Distance Touring
