Kids love to play in sand, but can seriously damage dunes and marsh grasses, which disrupts runoff patterns, which erode beaches during storms. The delicate creatures they love to track and catch can easily be injured or killed even by moving them from one part of the beach to another that is not a suitable habitat. Water, weather, and wind are serious hazards when care is not taken in water craft. This book incorporates field tested strategies for safe kayaking and water sports, including involving children in not only enjoying but also learning about the environment. Carole Ann Moleti and her family spend winters sliding down steep, icy Northeastern slopes and summers on the lakes, rivers, beaches, and bays of Long Island Sound, upstate New York, and Cape Cod. A New York City native, she grew up on The Bronx waterfront where she learned to swim, sail, pilot a motorboat, and lifeguard. Carole's time as a resident of Boston, and many summers spent on Cape Cod with extended family, inspired her to write this guide.

Download or read book Rowing to Latitude written by Jill Fredston and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two by sea: a couple rows the wild coasts of the far north in Rowing to Latitude: Journeys Along the Arctic's Edge. Jill Fredston has traveled more than twenty thousand miles of the Arctic and sub-Arctic-backwards. With her ocean-going rowing shell and her husband, Doug Fesler, in a small boat of his own, she has disappeared every summer for years, exploring the rugged shorelines of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Spitsbergen, and Norway. Carrying what they need to be self-sufficient, the two of them have battled mountainous seas and hurricane-force winds, dragged their boats across jumbles of ice, fended off grizzlies and polar bears, been serenaded by humpback whales and scrutinized by puffins, and reveled in moments of calm. As Fredston writes, these trips are "neither a vacation nor an escape, they are a way of life." Rowing to Latitude is a lyrical, vivid celebration of these northern journeys and the insights they inspired. It is a passionate testimonial to the extraordinary grace and fragility of wild places, the power of companionship, the harsh but liberating reality of risk, the lure of discovery, and the challenges and joys of living an unconventional life.
