Alaska Blues: A Story of Freedom, Risk, and Living Your Dream - Joe Upton

Descriere Alaska Blues: A Story of Freedom, Risk, and Living Your Dream - Joe Upton

For seven months, Upton steered his 32-foot boat through Southeast Alaska, fishing for salmon. His account of that season of fishing and surviving covers not only the whims of nature but also the shifting fortunes of the fishing industry itself. \n \nFOR SEVEN MONTHS Joe Upton steered his 30-foot boat, the Doreen, through the open channels and narrow, twisting passageways of Southeast Alaska, living the life of an itinerant commercial fisherman far from home.This is Upton's award-winning account of that season--the lonely hours at sea as well as the close community of the fishing fleet; the sudden, violent storms and glorious days of sunshine; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation. Alaska Blues endures as a powerful and enduring portrait of a time and place--of a people and their way of life and the haunting, beautiful shores that draw them back, season after season.\n
