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.
