Alaska Blues

<p>FOR 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.</p>
