Synopsis Aleutian Ballad by : Larry Anthony Pannell

Those of you that are fans of the Deadliest Catch television show will love this book. The Aleutian Ballad was featured on season two and noted for a 60-foot rouge wave hit the boat broadside in the Bering Sea. If you are in Ketchikan, Alaska you will love this tour. Over the years I have taken this excursion over a dozen times and have enjoyed every trip. Captain and owner Dave Lethin and his crew of merry misfits are "old salts" and extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. In this book I try to capture the experiences they share giving you a feel of what it is like on a real crab fishing boat. One of the highlights is traveling to nearby Annette Island. There 40-50 American Bald Eagles swarm out of the trees like mosquitos and diving only feet from the boat feeding on fish thrown into the water by the crew. The book is 8x10 inches and designed as a coffee table book filled with large photographs of the crew, guests and wildlife you experience during the tour.If you purchase this book a donation will be made to the Aleutian Ballad Crab Fisherman's Memorial Fund. Proceeds of the fund are distributed to the families of those lost in the Bering Sea.

Synopsis Passage to Juneau by : Jonathan Raban

The bestselling, award-winning author of Bad Land takes us along the Inside Passage, 1,000 miles of often treacherous water, which he navigates solo in a 35-foot sailboat, offering captivating discourses on art, philosophy, and navigation and an unsparing narrative of personal loss. "A work of great beauty and inexhaustible fervor." —The Washington Post Book World With the same rigorous observation (natural and social), invigorating stylishness, and encyclopedic learning that he brought to his National Book Award-winning Bad Land, Jonathan Raban conducts readers along the Inside Passage from Seattle to Juneau. But Passage to Juneau also traverses a gulf of centuries and cultures: the immeasurable divide between the Northwest's Indians and its first European explorers—between its embattled fishermen and loggers and its pampered new class.

Synopsis Tip of the Iceberg by : Mark Adams

**The National Bestseller** From the acclaimed, bestselling author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu, a fascinating, wild, and wonder-filled journey into Alaska, America's last frontier In 1899, railroad magnate Edward H. Harriman organized a most unusual summer voyage to the wilds of Alaska: He converted a steamship into a luxury "floating university," populated by some of America's best and brightest scientists and writers, including the anti-capitalist eco-prophet John Muir. Those aboard encountered a land of immeasurable beauty and impending environmental calamity. More than a hundred years later, Alaska is still America's most sublime wilderness, both the lure that draws one million tourists annually on Inside Passage cruises and as a natural resources larder waiting to be raided. As ever, it remains a magnet for weirdos and dreamers. Armed with Dramamine and an industrial-strength mosquito net, Mark Adams sets out to retrace the 1899 expedition. Traveling town to town by water, Adams ventures three thousand miles north through Wrangell, Juneau, and Glacier Bay, then continues west into the colder and stranger regions of the Aleutians and the Arctic Circle. Along the way, he encounters dozens of unusual characters (and a couple of very hungry bears) and investigates how lessons learned in 1899 might relate to Alaska's current struggles in adapting to the pressures of a changing climate and world.
