"Professional sailor and adventuress Lia Ditton is the kind of person who runs the Marathon des Sables, and then rows across the Pacific. Luckily for us, she toned down her 50 Water Adventures to do Before You Die. Among the gentler challenges are paddleboard yoga in a geothermal crater in Utah and fishing for big game off Mexico. Sailors might want to sail a leg of the Clipper Race or sail the Nile in a felucca. That leaves 46 adventures--better get going!" --Sailing Magazine "A big part of life is about enjoying it and having fun--adding water to it makes it even better. If fun isn't fun for you unless it's also thrilling, then I recommend Lia Dutton's 50 Water Adventures to do Before You Die, the ultimate bucket list handbook for water lovers." --Boating Times Long Island and Chesapeake Bay
