Review

Amazon Customer

If you want to feel the extreme experience and dangers of chasing the ultimate dream, I strongly recommend you read this book. The author is one of Americas modern day pioneers building a life and making a living in one of the most treacherous occupations.... Fishing in Alaska. It is amazing how every time The American Eagle left port there was an unknown challenge to face. I now understand that Alaskans like the early pioneers had each others back which keeps them going from season to season. . Captain Ralph Galeano has truly lived a life that every man would envy and few could duplicate.
