Paddling North: A Solo Adventure Along the Inside… door Audrey Sutherland

A very so-so book. About 1/4 of the book deals w/ food....what she ate at ever stop, recipes, etc. Dull and uninteresting to most readers of the book I imagine. She also used a Sevylor kayak for the trip! Finished 3 October 2019.
