What makes travel special? Perhaps the chill realization that a polar bear's eyes are fixed on you. Maybe it is the chance meeting with a man who buries sharks in a beach, only to dig them up months later, not out of morbid curiosity, but for food. Perhaps it is the undulating wing-beat of a dark shell-less gastropod in the canal of a 17th Century French sea port, or the criminal history of a rusting ship with a tree growing from its hold.Encounters in a Kayak brings the reader along on the magical experiences that surround sea kayaking. It's about the animals, people, and special places around the globe that have grabbed the attention of renowned kayaker and writer Nigel Foster. His irrepressible curiosity drives him to tease out the unexpected stories hidden behind his subjects. These nuggets from around the world are bound together by water and a centuries-old form of sea travel: kayak. The result is a book of broad appeal for those interested in kayaking, traveling, and adventure.

Nigel Foster offers expert insider tips on how to manage tides and changeable weather, alerts readers to potential hazards on the routes, and includes fun anecdotes of his experiences with the area wildlife. Look inside to find: clear maps, difficulty ratings, and points of special interest, as well as fascinating insights on the history and ecology of Florida's waterways.

In 1981, Nigel Foster flew to Canada’s Baffin Island to begin a solo kayak trip south toward northern Labrador. After crossing the 40-mile wide Hudson Strait in howling winds and fighting a 10 knot tide race, Foster crash-landed on a small island in the dark. He had frostbitten fingers and was 300 miles from the closest village. With unimaginable good fortune, eight days later he ran across an oil tanker and hitched a ride south. He had survived—marking one of the most notable solo crossings in history—but the failure of the second portion of the trip he had originally planned haunted him. In 2004, Foster returned to northern Labrador with his then girlfriend (now wife) Kristin Nelson. Launching from Kuujjuaq in Northern Quebec, the couple paddled the Ungava Bay coast—which has one of the largest tidal variances in the world—to the place Foster had boarded the oil tanker 23 years earlier. From this remote location, the couple completed the trip to Nain that Foster originally planned for 1981. They encountered more polar bears than people. The story of the two trips forms the backbone for On Polar Tides—Originally self-published as Stepping Stones in 2009—which offers an intimate and insightful view of Ungava and Labrador. The new, revised edition includes gripping recollections of the polar adventures and 54 color photographs.

Join Nigel Foster for a double shot at adventure on the French canals and rivers. Taken in tandem, two kayaking adventures each in a two-seater kayak. The first, crosses France from north to south in the winter rains and snows of 1979: a crazy spur of the moment adventure. It sets the stage for the main story, crossing France from sea to sea once again, this time from the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.Foster draws from the humor of his earlier trip, weaving facets of that adventure into the narrative of his more recent journey. There was much that differed between the two adventures. For starters, the cold incessant rain and extensive flooding of the first trip contrast the balmy, September, sunshine of the second.Even though the first route penetrates the heart of Champagne country, there is little tempting about sampling Champagne while camping on a flooded winter canal bank. But in late summer, in balmy weather, beside canals that traverse the biggest wine-producing areas of France, well, that offers a better incentive to forage for wine.The dream.Imagine drifting along a canal, shaded from the September sunshine by an avenue of plane trees that arch overhead. The breeze-tickled-leaves, and the pale dappled bark flicker in reflections from the water. Here is a waterside caf for coffee and croissants. Nearby, an open market for fresh produce. Beside the canal all along are vineyards and wineries, and chateaux offering wine tasting. Cafes and restaurants serve local cassoulets and flans. There is time to stop for French cheeses and fresh-baked baguettes. Each night, there is a cosy camping spot somewhere beside the water as the sun sets between the trees. The warm creamy sandstone of the canal architecture glows in the evening light. Owls call from the trees as a fat moon rises.There are cities on the way too: medieval fortified towns like Carcassonne, the rose city of Toulouse, and the pearl of Aquitaine, Bordeaux. The Canal du Midi, built in the 1660s, follows an ancient overland route, later paved by the Romans as the Via Domitia and the Via Aquitaine. The area is steeped in history, from Phoenician to Roman, the Mediaeval crusade against the Cathars, and the punitive chevauch es of the English Black Prince.The reality.On Foster's first trip, he and his friend Tim Franklin negotiated 220 locks with relative ease. With Kristin Nelson on the second trip, he soon discovered it would not be so easy on the Canal du Midi.But canals channel everyone along the same route, and all at about the same pace. It is easy to forge friendships between fellow travelers, adding color and depth to the trip, and much appreciated help. Cyclists ply the towpaths, and hikers follow the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela.Join Nigel Foster and Kristin Nelson as they make their way uphill from the Mediterranean to the parting of the waters, and back downhill again to the Atlantic in an adventure you could make for yourself, by canoe or kayak, boat or bicycle.

In 1976, Nigel Foster had no idea he would attempt to circumnavigate Iceland by kayak the following year. A chance meeting with a well-known expedition kayaker in the Scottish Isles changed all that. While others scoffed, he made plans, using the technology of the day: calling people on rotary dial telephones, visiting public libraries, consulting travel agents, folding letters into envelopes to be stamped and carried to the mail box. Slowly, as Foster learned about Iceland, he began to realize the difficulties ahead.Nobody had circled Iceland by kayak before. So, was it a foolhardy escapade? Possibly, but Foster describes how his earlier adventures made him optimistic. When the small team he first envisions dwindles to two, he has misgivings, but the project seems to take on an energy beyond his control. In June of 1977, he finds himself with Geoff Hunter on the heaving deck of a ferry bound for Iceland with snow dashed mountains rising before them.Despite contrasting personalities, Foster and Hunter have compatible goals. Together, they enrich their adventure, forgoing speed of travel to better experience Iceland. Icelanders welcome them with touching generosity. Their encounters are often outright hilarious. Ashore, the two hike up steaming volcanic peaks, not missing the opportunity to bask in mountain hot springs, or in contrast explore glaciers and ice-filled lakes. They camp on black sand beaches, eat seagulls and puffins, and deal with malfunctioning gear. Afloat, it is the moody ocean that pervades all, with its heaving shore-breaks and numbing chill. Here are towering cliffs, cacophonous seabird colonies, whales, driftwood logs from Siberia, and storm-whipped islands. As they forge ahead, their story becomes interwoven with threads, historical and geological, that enrich the narrative, making it a valuable resource for any traveler to Iceland.This is a story of Iceland as experienced in the 1970s. It reveals the atmosphere and character of the land and people at that time. There is a freshness untouched by high tech, which makes the recounting of this major accomplishment, the first circumnavigation of Iceland by kayak, a delight to read.

The epic SF trilogy concludes with a mind-blowing exploration of space as the truth of the Originators is revealed and the future of humanity is decided amongst the stars; a fate forged deep in the secret history of our past. It wasn't much of an army to save Earth from alien, pre-cog domination. Only three people: an heiress, a sociopathic artist and their leader, a female licensed assassin. But time has run out. The artificial intelligences - alien artefacts - that run Earth and its colonies are going mad. Long held human grudges, suspicions and fears have erupted in violence throughout the world. Earth's own pre-cogs have seen the trio victorious. . . maybe. For Kara Jones, the assassin, it is a time of chaos made worse by the absence of Tatia Nerein, the heiress now warrior who is following her own dangerous path across alien worlds, and Marc Keislack, who stepped into netherspace, the dimension that allows star travel. Kara searches for a way to snatch her people back from a hostile galaxy even as she is assailed by doubts. But loyalty is everything and she will sacrifice anything to find her comrades and complete a mission she barely understands. And ultimately discover the truth about the aliens. . . a revelation no greater than the truth she learns about herself.
