Admittedly, she goes into great detail about the procedural aspects of a long endurance adventure: her route, the weather conditions, what she sees, where she camps, what she eats, how she slept, and so on.

A very so-so book. About 1/4 of the book deals w/ food....what she ate at ever stop, recipes, etc. Dull and uninteresting to most readers of the book I imagine. She also used a Sevylor kayak for the trip! Finished 3 October 2019.
