About the Author
I've been writing about boating and other outdoor subjects since I published my first articles in "Offshore" magazine and "American Hiker" many years ago. Canoeing is my passion: whitewater, tripping, and especially flatwater paddling -- just taking a solo canoe onto a big pond and letting it drift with the wind. I place the paddle across the gunwales, lean on it, and listen, meditate, and enjoy the gentle movement. It's the closest I ever get to feeling spiritual.I'm also enthusiastic about hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking, bicycle repairs, and outdoor survival skills. I never have enough time to fully satisfy my urge for any of them.Mankind's simplest boats fascinate me, and I maintain the Indigenous Boat blog at www.indigenousboats.com. While often "primitive" in a technological sense, many of the world's indigenous boats are notable for their ingenuity and diversity in fulfilling the highly localized needs of their users.I also run Mythic Gear, which manufactures North America's lowest-price drysuits. They're available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/sp? _encoding=UTF8&asin=B01N55Q3J6&isAmazonFulfilled=0&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A3JOF5QXB9T0V8&tab=&vasStoreID=
