Title
Birding, Cross-Country Skiing and Kayaking Books by Michael Jeneid
Description
I started kayaking aged 14, and for fifty years now have treated the kayak much as another person might use their bicycle or car. Bird watching by kayak is an almost everyday part of my life. Simply working with tides on estuaries, bays and sloughs to get to places where the shorebirds and waterfowl feed, I lead trips doing this and also teach kayaking skills and participate in racing events. (see Adventure Kayaking - Trips from the Russian River to Monterey ).
As a young lieutenant in the Royal Marines, taking a course at Greenwich on the River Thames, I paddled solo from London to Paris to see my girlfriend--it was the cheapest way to go. Of course it took a long time to get there (six weeks), and by the time I reached Paris my bird had flown. That story you can read in Sea Kayaker Magazine, Volume 6, Number 1.
Twice I have lived out of my kayak, unsupported by any indoor facilities--no shopping, no dwellings--for a full month while exploring the Maine Archipelago; and another trip has been a reconnaissance of the Hudson River from source to estuary. This 26 day journey became a six credit graduate course at Boston University; it was the summer component of my courses for students specializing in outdoor education. James Feron covered this epic journey for the New York Times; it included studying the Hudson River School of Painting; the five climate regions through which we traveled; forestry, industry, and population density.
