Small-Boat Cruising to Alaska is a gem of a book for anyone who dreams of sailing in the scenic waters of the Northwest. Author Leif Terdal does a first-rate job of presenting a comprehensive guide on what to expect, how to prepare, where to go, and what to see when setting sail for Southeastern Alaska. His recounting of the experiences of vastly different crews on various types of vessels give the book broad scope and appeal, as does his thoughtful discussion of issues dealing with land use and industry, the indigenous peoples, and the history and culture of the area. Essential for boaters yet entertaining for all who read it, Small-Boat Cruising to Alaska belongs on every boat heading north to Alaska.

I know the route and I know the book,
By Dale Petersen (Ferndale, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small-Boat Cruising to Alaska (Paperback)
I like the book. As an author of a companion book, Day by Day to Alaska, I say this book is another view. In fact Terdahl gives us five views of different skippers' experiences going in a small boat to Alaska. In my book I give my two views going to Alaska at different times. Both books emphasize important items the other doesn't. Between the two books, anyone wanting to go to Alaska in small boat will find some very real expectations and how to be prepared for such a trip. Terdal has some great pictures in the book and shares some of his conversations with some interesting people along the way.
