Publisher Comments:

-- Winner of the "Barbara Savage Miles From Nowhere Memorial Award"<P>-- Illustrated with original artwork<P>In this insightful account of her solo voyage in a sixteen-foot kayak, Jennifer Hahn vividly relates the terrifying predicaments, ecstatic moments, and personal challenges of paddling against the winds through Alaska's Inside Passage. Much more than a memoir, Spirited Waters is a remarkable blend of adventure travel, natural history, personal challenge, vivid animal encounters, Northwest mythology, and heartwarming coastal characters.

: Ms.Skewed, August 19, 2008 (view all comments by Ms.Skewed)
Boating can be much more than conquering big drops or racking up miles. It can be a quest for solitude or wildlife, a search for signs of ancient cultures, a test of one's seamanship and survival skills and a spiritual journey. For Jennifer Hahn, who paddled from Alaska to Bellingham, it was all of that, and more.

Spirited Waters is the story of Jennifer's solo kayak trip south through the Inside Passage, braving storms and fierce headwinds, bears, whale, and other animal encounters. It is the story of meeting interesting people along the way and fulfilling a goal.

Spirited Waters is an excellent book written by an amazing person about an incredible journey. You'll love it!
