Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 7x9x1; As globe-trotting transport, it may have seemed like a curious choice: a folding kayak, seaworthy but not exactly luxurious, which could be dismantled and stored in a canvas bag. But in the course of their travels, the kayak would serve Maria Coffey and her husband Dag Goering well, as they transported it by everything from jumbo jet to buffalo cart, and paddled it thousands of miles into remote corners of the world. In shark-infested waters around the Solomon Islands, negotiating bandits and floating bodies along the River Ganges, or dodging irate hippos and government spies on Lake Malawi, this is travel writing at its most intrepid.
