One man's rush to jump on the kayaking bandwagon

This is the Sea 4

I just picked up a copy of This is the Sea 4. I really liked the previous 3 volumes, but this one is a mixed bag. Disc two contains footage of the Queen Charlotte Islands and the New Zealand circumnavigations. While these are the best segments on either disc, they seem to suffer from rather abrupt editing. Disc one is largely a wasteland. The only exception is the Norway segment. After seeing those kids in action, Nigel Foster isn't nearly as impressive. Overall, Volume 4 is the weakest in the series.
Don't get me wrong. It's still great for those days when you can't make it out on the water.
