Useful Guide for Boaters / A Must for Cruise Ship Passengers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Nothing enhances the experience of traveling like a bit of knowledge about one's new surroundings. As a passenger on a cruise ship viewing the Inside Passage to Alaska for the first time, and transiting so quickly through this spectacular country, Joe Upton's facts, stories and personal experiences bring this country to life! Joe brings both his knowledge of the country's history as well as his personal experience as an Alaska commercial fisherman gathered during numerous passages on these waters, as well as long hours hunkered down in remote coves waiting out bad weather while swapping tales with fisherman and loggers. An entertaining read as well as a valuable on board mile by mile travel guide.
