Opis

For seven months, Joe Upton steered his 32-foot boat, the Doreen, through the open channels and narrow, twisting passageways of Southeast Alaska, fishing for salmon. This is his account of that season of fishingthe lonely hours at sea as well as the close community of the fishing fleet; the sudden, violent storms and glorious days of sun; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation. Alaska Blues is a classic Pacific Northwest tale of independent men and women living on the edge, surviving not only the whims of nature but also the shifting fortunes of the fishing industry itself.
