Fledgling kayak tourists should find this book to be a worthy reference in planning their first overnight voyage; more advanced boaters may find it to be a bit below them in terms of technical instruction, but a good checklist and information font nevertheless... Kuhne's guide orients well, leaving it up to readers to write their own chapters on getting outfitted and going for it.
