Nice! I read that book about a month ago and loved every second of it. The man, even though not an author, really made me turn the pages. Think I read the entire book in 2 nights...
He had a few really timeless quotes in there.

Sorry Jamie: Don't mean ta use your post about sailing the high seas - but yeah Beleg - I hardly read anymore. My brother lives on the Gulf, he works with his hands too and built himself a Dorry not long ago - now he's contemplating a sloop.....All about adventure and doin it yourself - OK, I'll shut it now ;D.
cowboy:
Oh yeah - I'd be interested in reading about this Krakuaer too. What's the title, where would I find it? Trying to reginerate some brain cells ;D ;D.
