Alaska Blues: A Story of Freedom, Risk, and Living Your Dream Book

So much fun to read about a fishing era that is largely past and gone - something the author addresses in the foreword. I am intrigued by anything Alaskan, and this way of life certainly is. I enjoyed the journal-style format, and sly asides poking fun at himself and everyone else. He has an outdoorsman's characteristic understatement when referencing things like seas that almost swamp his boat. I so appreciate him including things that really make the land and life alive, like whales singing, his friend's little daughter being injured in an accident, and explorations of any number of abandoned canneries. Well worth reading.
