About this audiobook
For years, I have been drawn to the stunning coastlines of Aotearoa. I find them calming, even on stormy days. This grew into my dream to paddle around the country. I wasn’t talking about a bay or two, or one section at a time. I wanted to paddle the entire coastline, non-stop! Why not? The normal response was "ARE YOU MAD?" followed by a look of horror. But I trusted that "If you can see it, you can achieve it," and I was certain that the time to embark on my life’s dream was now.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sadly, the protagonist is a proper pain in the ass. I couldn't keep listening to the obstinate whining about everything past the first few chapters.
