Reviews
The importance of this book lies in its narrative of one woman's drive to test her limits against unforgiving elements, and in the insight she gained (and shares) about herself and human nature. -- The Houston Post, For mainlanders, a pleasant, friendly introduction to lush new scenery and a one-of-a-kind sensibility. -- Kirkus, This is a splendid adventure story -- proof that the thrills of surging seas, dangerous cliffs, unknown terrain and isolation can be found in Hawaii. -- Honolulu Star Bulletin, It is a book that makes any traveller yearn for solitude in the wilderness and displays the beauties of going solo. -- Readers Digest UK, The most isolated and spectacular seacoast in Hawaii is on the northeast side of Molokai. . . . Audrey Sutherland set out alone . . . . Her account is first-rate adventure . . . For the armchair traveler as well as the adventurer. -- Publishers Weekly review of the first edition, More than adventure, it's a human being's joyous response to, and interaction with, the forces of nature. -- Honolulu Advertiser, Equal parts self-help book, environmental tract, and a reflection on one's mortality, this book is beautifully written and an inspiration to find one's own adventures, be they solo or with trusted partners. -- MidwestBasecamp.com, This is a splendid adventure story -- proof that the thrills of surging seas, dangerous cliffs, unknown terrain and isolation can be found in Hawaii. -- Honolulu Start Bulletin

Synopsis
Go Simple, Go Solo, Go Now In 1958, while flying from one island to another, Audrey Sutherland sees the remote and roadless northeast side of Molokai, with its spectacular sea cliffs and waterfalls. Always an adventurer, she decides that she must find a way to explore this then inaccessible area. After much study, she determines that the best way for her to navigate these treacherous sea walls is to swim while towing an inflatable kayak. This is the story of fulfilling her dream, of planning then implementing, of launching and advancing, of retreating and reconnoitering, of challenge and success. This is the story of the trip that convinced her that personal growth comes when one goes simple, goes solo, goes now., An Epic Memoir of an Intrepid Solo Adventurer, a Woman Who Lived by the Philosophy "Go Simple, Go Solo, Go Now"

    Shipping was really quick but due to reasons beyond the seller's control it took a month to get to me. Item arrived in excellent condition as described with everything intact. It was also packaged really well, secure but easy enough to get open. Thank you so much!
