Paddling Edna (Part 2) Into the Sea - (Paddling Edna [Series]) by Lanae Abnet (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One woman's remarkable journey by kayak

We all have dreams for the future, some irrational and some unbelievable. But inevitably something holds us back from turning our wildest dreams into a reality. We allow doubt and fear to creep in, and we never realize our potential to live out our ambitions. While waiting on the embankment too afraid to jump in, our dreams languish. So how do we find the courage to go for it? LaNae Abnet took a leap of faith, left the riverbank, and journeyed to the Gulf of Mexico.

LaNae and her husband traveled by kayak 1600 miles from the source of the Wabash River to the Gulf of Mexico. Paddling Edna (part 2) Into the Sea picks up where her previous book, Paddling Edna (part 1), left off and finishes the story as LaNae and her husband kayak the remaining 971 miles on the lower Mississippi River from just below Cairo, Illinois, to the Gulf of Mexico. An intimate narrative, LaNae relates not only the events and challenges of each day but also her observations, musings, philosophies, and fears. LaNae eagerly embraces the unexpected and is always on the lookout for truly remarkable experiences.

The perfect read for any outdoor enthusiast, Abnet's story demonstrates how ordinary people can accomplish the extraordinary; and her outlook is an inspiration to adventure seekers of all ages.
