G'day Brezze's. If you love reading a Good Book I'd highly recommend this book:- PADDLE MY OWN CANOE by Audrey Sutherland. Audrey is dead now she died in 2015 at age 94 years.
We all think we are HARD CORE Ocean Paddler? But Audrey Sutherland is extremely Hard Care. She swims from the east coast of Molokai island to the west coast of Molokai island on the northern side of Molokai island, way back in the late 50's early 60's .
All the Hawaiian chain is a "caf'e" for Tiger Sharks. I've seen on every Downwind Paddle when Paddling Maliko Gulch to Kahului on Maui many a Tiger Sharks.
Here is a short abstract of the book. 1958, while flying from one island to another, Audrey Sutherland sees the remote and roadless northeast side of Molokai, with its spectacular sea cliffs and waterfalls. Always an adventurer, she decides that she must find a way to explore this then inaccessible area. After much study, she determines that the best way for her to navigate these treacherous sea walls is to swim while towing an inflatable kayak. This is the story of fulfilling her dream, of planning then implementing, of launching and advancing, of retreating and reconnoitering, of challenge and success. This is the story of the trip that convinced her that personal growth comes when one goes simple, goes solo, goes now. An Epic Memoir of an Intrepid Solo Adventurer, a Woman Who Lived by the Philosophy "Go Simple, Go Solo, Go Now"
