Passage to Juneau

The Inside Passage to Alaska, with its outer fringes and entailments, is a very complicated sea-route. Parts of it are open ocean, parts of it no wider than a modest river, and it has been in continuous use for several thousand years. Its aboriginal past – still tantalizingly close to hand – puts the inside passaged on terms of close kinship with the ancient sea of the Phoenicians and the Greeks.This book is much more than a book about a sea voyage; it is about Jonathan Raban`s journey home to his father who is dying; about his crumbling relationship with his wife and also about the historical journey of the maddening Vancouver in his search for the North West Passage.
