Joe Upton was a commercial fisherman for 25 years in Alaska and Maine. He lives with his wife on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and Vinalhaven Island, Maine
"If you had ever told me, in the years I lived on Unalaska Island,
that the fishing life would become the stuff of prime time TV, I
would have laughed all the way to the Elbow Room. Who, other than
those who lived with fishermen could ever understand, or ever care
to understand, that life? Bering Sea Blues is a fine addition to
the literature of the crab fishery. How it really is, is one thing.
How it really was, well, that's another. And for how hairy and
scary it used to be, Bering Sea Blues is your book!" --Rebecca
Goodrich, Alaska Cabin Bookshelf
"Joe Upton is an excellent writer ... if you love seeing or reading
about crabbing in the Aleutians and Bering Sea, you will thoroughly
enjoy this account. If you don't, but have a friend who does, be a
pal and buy a copy."--Dee Longenbaugh, Sitka (Alaska) Sentinel
Joe Upton "describes in vivid detail the drama and hair-raising
adventures of life aboard a crab vessel." --Fisherman's News
