Opis

The story of an epic journey on the legendary Sea of Cortes--and of the struggle of a man and a woman to come to terms with nature, themselves, and each other. Kayaking the Vermilion Sea is an exhilarating, lyrical journal filled with the region's lore, history, and natural wonders.

With two slender sixty-pound kayaks, a ten-pound medical kit, twenty pounds of books, triple-digit temperatures, and no contact with the outside world, Jonathan and Deborah Waterman spent two months paddling through the violent tides and storms that define the mythically charged Sea of Cortes. Amid the lore and romantic past of the Baja they discovered that what began as a mutual exploration would soon become an unforgettable test of will.

Exhilarating and lyrical, filled with images of death, beauty, and adventure, this paradisiacal journey depicts the past and present of a legendary body of water -- and the struggle of a man and a woman to find each other.
