Why read it?
1 author picked Paddling My Own Canoe as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how candidly Audrey brings us along on her incredible adventures swimming and paddling the coast of Molokai. It felt like I had acquired a new best friend after reading this book. It’s rare to read stories by women whose desire to experience solitude in nature and “get away from it all” outweighs the fear of all the unknowns that the ocean and nature can present.

From Captain's list on nonfiction books about ocean adventures.
