AROUND VANCOUVER ISLAND ON MY KAYAK

IN MAY OF 2022 FELIPE BEHRENS SET OFF ON A CHALLENGE TO PADDLE HIS KAYAK AROUND VANCOUVER ISLAND. FOR AN AMERICAN FROM SOUTH FLORIDA USED TO SUNSHINE, WARM WATER AND PALM TREES, PADDLING IN THE FRIGID AND OFTENTIMES STORMY PACIFIC NORTHWEST, COULD HARDLY FEEL MORE DIFFERENT.

HIS JOURNEY TAKES THE READER ON A THOUSAND MILE ADVENTURE OF DISCOVERY, SPRINKLED WITH RUN-INS WITH COLORFUL CHARACTERS, ENCOUNTERS WITH WILDLIFE, OBSERVATIONS ON THE LOCAL GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENT, AND INSIGHTS INTO CANADIAN AND LOCAL BC CULTURE FROM AN OUTSIDER'S PERSPECTIVE.

THIS BOOK IS A TALE THAT WILL ENTHRALL BOTH EXPERIENCED PADDLERS AND ARMCHAIR ADVENTURERS ALIKE.
