Feature
“One of a Kind” Online
By Christopher Cunningham
Editor
Quite a number of years ago we had a section in the magazine called “One of a Kind.” It was a page that allowed us to share some of the special kayaks being built by readers as well as kayaks custom-built by manufacturers for expeditions and special needs. We’d like to reintroduce the “One of a Kind” section on our website. On the web we can devote much more space to special kayaks than we could in print, so we hope to have an inspiring collection for our web readers to enjoy. If you’d like to share a unique kayak with the Sea Kayaker community, please send a digital image or two to us along with a description of the kayak. Skin-on-frame, stitch-and-glue, strip-built, composite construction, you name it, are all welcome. Be sure to include the length, beam, weight, materials, the source of the design and the features that set the kayak apart. Let us know if you’d like us to include your email for folks who might be interested in hearing more about your kayak. Email your photos and description to: editorial@seakayakermag.com
I’ll get the ball rolling with a kayak that I built a few years back:

New Cook Book

Browsing through cookbooks is one of my pastimes. I look for recipes that make my taste buds salivate. I picked out a few recipes from the new cookbook The Paddling Chef by Dian Weimer that I'd like to try:
Chicken Stir-Fry with Chutney
Risotto with Zucchini
Tofu with Sweet and Sour Sauce
Raita-Indian Cucumber Salad
Egg Drop Soup
Dessert Crepes
Dian Weimer has paddled and eaten well in places including Howe Sound and Gwaii Haanas in Canada. Her cookbook has over 100 tried-and-true recipes.
She includes recipes from Indian, Chinese & Japanese cuisines.
We also offer Camp Cooking - The Black Feather Guide by Mark Scriver, Wendy Grater, Joanna Baker. It has terrific color photos that easily inspire me. Two chapters include recipes and instructions for baking in Dutch ovens and Outback ovens. Baking biscuits or brownies is a wonderful way to spend a day in camp.
Both books are written for canoeists, kayakers and rafters and cover planning, packing tips and menu ideas.

Here’s what one lucky subscription winner had to say:
Dear Sea Kayaker magazine,
A belated "Thanks!" for the free subscription which I won in the fishbowl drawing at the 2009 West Coast Sea Kayak Symposium. I've thoroughly enjoyed the past few issues. You've inspired me to expand my paddling skills beyond flatwater sprint racing and now I'm signed up for a 5-day sea kayaking class this summer!
I'm putting my already-read issues in my waiting room at my office so others can enjoy them.
Thanks again!
