Freewheelings Five Best Travel Articles on Friday

By Brandon Edward

It’s my pleasure to bring you another week of the Freewheelings’ Five.  I’m going to throw a couple curve balls at you this time and diverge a little bit from the standard format.  Don’t worry, we’re still going to take our vicarious trip around the world. Last week I covered the Blog for Japan campaign […]

By Brandon Edward

If you’re just arriving you should check out Salmon Tender Life part 1 and the basics:  Salmon 101. Just before mid season Chums, Reds, Silvers and Kings start to run simultaneously.  The openers jump from 12 hours to 48 or 72 hours.  The fishing grounds move in from an 8 hour ride from the dock […]

Fishing in Alaska – Life on the Salmon Tender part 1

By Brandon Edward

Kitchen-Galley

Think of it this way.  Go into your bedroom and imagine it has a small shower, a toilet, a kitchen and a table.  Your bed is replaced with a bunk that’s about 2” shorter than your body.  It has a lip around the edge to keep you from rolling out in the waves.  Everything is […]

Now that everyone has made their way through Salmon 101 you can let your own imagination do the walking.  All those boats filled with all those boys lead to some interesting situations packed with fascinating characters.  From the bright eyed, hot headed new comers to hardened sea farers, cocky young punks and seasoned pros, you […]

Fishing in Alaska – Salmon 101

By Brandon Edward

drift net

I searched the interwebs extensively prior to arriving in Alaska.  My search turned up nothing that even remotely covered the ins and outs of Salmon fishing, what to expect, what to prepare for and some basic vocabulary that will keep you from sounding like a greenhorn (rookie).  That’s what I’m going to cover here as […]

Tidepool Colisium

By Brandon Edward

tidepool enenemy

Here’s yet another little gem from Cordova, Alaska.  Out at the end of the road at Hartney Bay you can walk along the shoreline of the Prince William Sound at low tide.  It’s not sandy beaches, but a craggy, rocky sort of shoreline that gives home to all manner of tidepool creatures.  You never know […]

Ships of Old Alaska

By Brandon Edward

HMS Resolution and Discovery

I’ve been digging around the Internet and the library for a few days now pursuing my own interest in the great ships of Alaska’s history.  The information is startlingly scattered so I have set about creating an account of the boats that have been a part of Alaska’s discovery, boom, gold rush, fishing industry, tourist […]
