A transfixing memoir, Celtic Tides is the vivid account of the first every circumnavigation of Ireland by kayak. Told with sensitivity and care, Duffs odyssey is about a lone man and a capricious sea and its moods of tranquility and contrasting terror. But the book is more than an adventure story. It’s also about haunting beauty, ancient history, and spiritual renewal found along the storm lashed coasts of an enchanting land. By Canoe-Kayak Magazine.

Chris Duff has traveled over 14,000 miles by sea kayak since 1983 when he paddled 8,000 miles around the eastern third of the United States and Canada. In 1986 he became the first person to solo the entire British Isles and is currently planning a solo circumnavigation of New Zealand's south island. Chris is a contributing author to the book Seekers of the Horizon and has written for Sea Kayaker magazine and the International Sea Kayaking Association. He lectures across the country and lives in Port Angeles, Washington. Source: Barnes&Noble website.

“Listed in Canoe-Kayak Magazine Ten Best Adventure Paddling Books.”Duff, one of the world’s top names in sea kayaking, has traveled over 14,000 miles by kayak since 1983. Not one to do anything by halves, he was the first person to circumnavigate the Island of Great Britain. In 1996, he made the 1200-mile kayak trip around Ireland and became the only person ever to have soloed the British Isles in their entirety. With rich prose, Duff eloquently describes the sights, culture, history, and people of the Irish coast. His writing evokes both the force of nature as he describes his fight with the waves at the mouth of the Shannon River and the civility of tea and scones in a quaint pub in Clare. Suitable for both public and academic libraries catering to a clientele interested in travel narratives.—Source: Sandra Knowles, Henderson Cty.
