The best first person adventure stories are told when the author is completely honest about his or her experiences.
This premise sets the scene for About.com’s Greece Guide deTraci
Regula as she relates her multi-day kayaking
expedition around Crete in a way which will make you laugh and feel sorry for her at the same time. A complete
novice of the sport, she braves her fears (while making great friends with her personal floatation device) to learn how
to kayak and explore some amazing places. She also provides
some planning notes related
to future runs of the same kayaking expedition.
