About this title

From the Author

Every new day traveling on a small boat up the spectacular Inside Passage was more exhilarating than the last -- exhilarating and, at the same time, calming. I wanted to capture the quiet, reflective moments that taught me something about myself and our miraculous world.  My notebook began to fill with haiku, the perfect medium for those succinct, sometimes startling perceptions.

From the Back Cover

Haiku Guide to the Inside Passage is the story of a trip from Puget Sound to Skagway, Alaska and back on the trawler, Haiku. Along the way you will sail into deep fjords, watch wildlife graze on remote shores; you will anchor beside glaciers which are only accessible by boat or float plane and visit first nation fishing villages. Haiku, an age-old poetry form, is an ideal medium in which to word-paint a sea adventure. Dramatic pictures enhance the experience.
