Alaska Blues: A Story of Freedom, Risk, and Living Your Dream Paperback - 2008
by 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.
From the rear cover
Joe Upton steered his thirty-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 his 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 sun; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation.
In this new thrid edition from Epicenter Press, "Alaska Blues "remains a powerful evocation of time and place - of a people and their way of life, and haunting, beautiful shores that draw them back, season after season.
