Description
For 20 years Joe Upton traveled the Alaska coast, catching fish, taking photos, collecting stories, and making maps. This easy to use large format book includes detailed anecdote-rich maps of Alaska and the Inside Passage and information on the ports and important elements of Alaska cruising, plus links to Upton's short video documentaries at specific places along the coast. But as in all of Upton's books, the stories from his years on the coast, from homesteader in a roadless fishing community to Deadliest Catch crab fisherman decades before the TV series, are the reasons for his books' enduring popularity.
