When he set down to write his guide, Mr. Earhart said, "When I began
kayaking, I found that I tended to paddle in the same area because I was
familiar with the landing and tidal conditions. I decided to expand my
boundaries and visited the library, kayak shops and bookstores and saw
that there was no good guide to kayaking in the local area." So he wrote
the guide himself.
The Kayak Charleston guide provides details needed to find
public boat landings even if signs are down. It explains how to use the
tides for maximum ease and enjoyment from trips on the area's many
tidal rivers. It provides planning tips and estimated times for trips on
the rivers and ocean areas within the greater Charleston area. All of
these are details personally acquired through many, many paddling trips;
Ralph says, "I have personally visited all the boat landings and made
all the trips noted in the guide." This book is extremely useful for all
new area paddlers, as well as the more experienced ones who should
branch out on the trips they take.
