Writer and adventurer Jon Bowermaster's sea kayak expedition took him to the South Pacific, 1,000 miles through the remote Tuamotu Archipelago north of Tahiti. The magazine account of the trip appeared in National Geographic Adventure in August 2003. A veteran of expeditions ranging from Antarctica to Kenya, Jon plans to sea kayak in each of the seven continents, plus Oceania, for his Oceans 8 project—supported by a National Geographic grant. Jon will accompany the expedition shown below.
