Congrats Dave Shively on telling the story of this epic 1984 expedition by Ed Gillet, who paddled a stock Necky kayak from California to Maui in 63-days.
The book is epic and goes right into the emotional and psychological realm of such a trip.
Finally Ed has spoken after 30+ years, Hope you’ve had a chance to read it.
At long last! That voyage deserves to be documented in more detail than the few paragraphs that paddlers have gnawed on for three decades. I’ll be looking for the book.
Thank you for posting about it!
