I Just learned that Derek Hutchinson passed away yesterday.I have never met Derek. However my first reading about sea kayaking (in 1994) was his book. Before even having sat in a sea kayak.
Dunno how many editions and prints are out there, but it must be the most sold, borrowed-out and read book on sea kayaking. It even had a Dutch translation.

Nice post.This book was so lovely.It should have been translated in different languages.Very informative and thrilling.Dutch translation or in any translation it would be a blast.Translating book shows the rich blend of knowledge and culture in a society.It is important that books written in a foreign language since it helps one to get acquainted with the thoughts, traditions, principles and actions of the people from the region.
