Small-Boat Cruising to Alaska by Terdal, Leif G.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781883697044.

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.
