Without a Paddle Racing Twelve Hundred Miles Around Florida by Sea Kayak [Hardcover] Books

Just finished Without a Paddle -- in a day -- could not put it down. My S.E. Fla kayak club has paddled many of the areas mentioned and it's fun seeing them through Warren's eyes. Have not had so many laughs reading a book in a long time. Even though I paddle frequently, there is no way I could possibly do the race. But, by Warren's laying out the different portions of the trip, my friends and I realize that we could do it in bits and pieces. This book allows an avid paddler or armchair-paddler to appreciate all the beautiful sights available from the water.

Went to a book review and reading by Warren and he talks just like he writes--very knowledgeable and likeable. Looking forward to another adventure and book.

Without a Paddle Racing Twelve Hundred Miles Around Florida by Sea Kayak [Hardcover] Books Reviews

I bought this book twice...left one half read on a plane, so had to buy it a 2nd time. And yet it was worth it.

This book is hysterical...the way he talks about his car, his life, his divorce just had me in hysterics. I can't recommend it enough.

For those of us also enjoying a mid life crisis...it made me laugh.
A must read for serious paddlers who want adventure and long trips.
I re-read most of it in preparation for the race.
I meant Warren during the 2013 Everglades Challenge. He was taking pictures, videos, and interviewing racers. He was the MC of the awards ceremony. I enjoyed all of it, and told him I should have brought the book for him to sign it. I recommend the book to others.
I read this book with deep personal interest because I knew Warren in the late 1970s, back when he was an up-and-coming newspaper reporter in New Jersey. I was keen to see his writing and how the story would unfold -- much less how the race went. As I turned each page, I got more involved with the storytelling, even though I knew part of the ending. He has a very lyrical style, though it was a bit sarcastic or exaggerated in places and I didn't expect this. Still, it was fun to move around the coast of Florida with him and imagine all the raw nature he encountered. Every time he talked about sleeping I was thankful for my soft, warm bed and knew never to complain about the daily luxuries that we take for granted. You really felt him pushed to exhaustion, not to mention pushed to the brink emotionally early on. The book is highly satisfying for its skillful weaving of a physical journey, an emotional journey, and a spiritual journey -- all intense, all coming together at the end.
As a keen sea kayaker, member of WaterTribe (KiwiBird) and fan of Warren Richey as Sharkchow, I was drawn to the book. Not only did it fulfill my interest in learning more about the actual paddling and logistics and down-right hard knacker involved in a 1,200 mile paddling race, I learned more about the author than I knew. I want to thank Richey for sharing his heart, his soul and his love for life and for Linda, and for his son. I feel extremely privileged to have been able to join him on such a wonderful, beautiful journey.
This is a fascinating story of how a man decided to forget his troubles and be part of a race all the way around Florida, paddling a kayak almost all the way with only a 40-mile portage over dry land. He had to pull his kayak over the portage on a kind of small wagon and it was just as challenging as the paddling. A great story with a great ending.,
This book was great! Probably in a ten way tie for the best book I've ever read. Endurance. Perseverence. And finding what you're about and what you're made of. Then put on a heavy icing of adventure and you have the elements of this story. It is an insight into the Water Tribe and the endurence challange races that the tribe puts on. Just before I read this I joined the Water Tribe, (my Tribe name is ArtIstSailor) and that's where I learned of this book. I've never done a Tribe Challange but reading Mr. Richeys book gives you a very clear picture of life on a challange. Of course every book has an end but I sure didn't want this one to end. I can't say enough good about it! When you can , read this book! You'll be glad you did!
