 like the rock Aug 17, 2011
By doug
Not unlike the "rock" on the cover. The author may be a little crusty and smelly (as are most kayakers) but nevertheless writes a charming little series of episodes that capture the essence of San Francisco Bay from the unique perspective that only a kayaker at night can have. If you are not able to meet up with a group of good friends and paddle to a beach where you share a meal around a campfire then this book is the next best thing. I have been reading these stories online as they trickle in. The book collects all together quite nicely.

 The Perfect Bathroom Read Aug 17, 2011
By Jacob Martin
I have hard copies of volumes 7 through 10 and they make a marvelous read any time you want to venture on the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays from Marin County. Year in, year out no matter the weather or who shows up the author ventures out in search of it's not clear what and still manages to find it. Philosophizing, paddling and eating not necessarily in that order on the ever changing waters of the San Francisco Bay and environs with an ever evolving cast of characters the author makes a weekly adventure in his kayak into a lesson that ranges from the mundane to the sublime--all by a camp fire with an improvised meal and dessert reported along with the sea conditions at the end of each night's entry. My favorite entries are those rare night's when no one else shows up and the author is alone with his thoughts and the thoughts of his storm paddle strapped to his foredeck and that paddle's scathing critique of the author's inadequacies. These autobiographical sketches are the perfect length for bathroom reading. Whether in hard copy or on the Kindle the prose is never constipated.
