Jean-Philippe Soule and Luke
Shullenberger embarked on a
three-year, 4,000-mile sea kayak
expedition from Baja-California
to the Darien Gap rainforest of
Panama.
The pair paddled
through storms and 8 to 12 foot
waves in Baja, narrowly avoided
injury in a shark attack in
Belize, struggled with tropical
heat, insects and malaria
attacks in Honduras, escaped
armed bandits in Nicaragua,
nearly drowned at the border of
Costa Rica, maneuvered through
huge surf and shore breaks along
the Pacific coast of Costa Rica
and survived an encounter with
former Noriega henchmen in
Panama. After creating two an
award-winning educational site
from material gathered during
their time with traditional
native groups: from the Mayans
of Belize and Guatemala to the
Miskito and Pech of Honduras to
the Kuna, Ngobe, Embera and
Wounan of Panama (www.nativeplanet.org),
they are now ready to publish
their fantastic journey.
