296pp/color photos ISBN 0865476551
Stock No. CNU024Jill Fredston & husband, Doug Fesler, authors of Snow Sense (our MTU141) spend 3 months every year exploring the rugged shorelines of Alaska, Canada, Greenland, Spitsbergen, & Norway via ocean-going rowing shells. Carrying what they need to be self-sufficient, they have battled mountainous seas & hurricane-force winds, dragged their boats across jumbles of ice, fended off grizzlies & polar bears, been serenaded by humpback whales & scrutinized by puffins, and have reveled in moments of calm. Jill's account of their years of adventure is a celebration of these journeys & a passionate testimonial to the extraordinary grace & fragility of wild places, the power of companionship, the harsh but liberating reality of risk, the lure of discovery, and the challenges and joys of living an unconventional life
