Book excerpt: Sea Kayaker's Savvy Paddler offers more than 200 concise, easily digestible tips for any paddler that will make their sea kayaking easier, safer and more enjoyable. These tips, which will appeal to beginners as well as experts, are inventive yet head-smackingly simple: for example, convert an old CD into a signal mirror, or use a drinking straw to suck the air from your bread bag to add days of freshness. Succinct tips are complemented by longer discussions on such things as packing a kayak for a multiday trip, and lists covering essential touring items, choosing the best paddling partner or boat, and recipes for quick meals on the water or in camp.
