I'll second "Rowing to Latitude" (Fredston) and "Homelands"  (Byron
Ricks) -- the latter for its writing and the former for the amazing things
they did.  "Homelands" is invigorating, poignant, and solid.  I loved the
careful way Byron treated disappearing cultures in Alaska -- white and
native both.

Bill Weitzel's rec of a narrative by a woman who soloed the Inside Passage
must be for "Spirited Waters" by Jennifer Hahn.  It is a hell of a book --
well written, and full of the spirit of place I identify with the Pacific
Northwest.  Jennifer has plenty of adventures, and is very much in tune with
the natural environment.  And, I learned a new way to do roasted spuds!
