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.
