Synopsis
NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! In the tradition of Sebastian Junger and Linda Greenlaw comes Captain Sig Hansen's rags-to-riches epic of his immigrant family's struggle against deadly Alaskan seas, freezing shipwrecks, and dangerously brutal conditions to achieve the American Dream Sig Hansen has been a star of the Discovery Channel's Deadliest Catch from the pilot to the present. Seen in over 150 countries, the show attracts more than 49 million viewers per season, making it one of the most successful series in the history of cable TV. With its daredevil camera work, unpredictably dangerous weather, and a setting as unforgivable and unforgettable as the frigid Bering Sea, The Deadliest Catch is unlike anything else on television. But the weatherworn fishermen of the fishing vessel Northwestern have stories that don't come through on TV. For Sig Hansen and his brothers, commercial fishing is as much a part of their Norwegian heritage as their names. Descendants of the Vikings who roamed and ruled the northern seas for centuries, the Hansens' connection to the sea stretches from Alaska to Seattle and all the way to Norway. And after twenty years as a skipper on the commercial fishing vessel the Northwestern-- which was his father's before him--Sig has lived to tell the tales. To be a successful fisherman, you need to be a mechanic, navigator, welder, painter, carpenter, and sometimes, a firefighter. To be a successful fisherman year after year, you need to be a survivor. This is the story of a family of survivors; part memoir and part adventure tale, North by Northwestern brings readers on deck, into the dockside bars and into the history of a family with a common destiny. Built around a gripping tale of a deadly shipwreck like The Perfect Storm, North By Northwestern is the multi-generational tale of the Hansen family, a clan of tough Norwegian-American fishermen who, through the popularity of The Deadliest Catch, have become modern folk-heroes., The captain took a drag on the cigarette and pushed through the door of the wheelhouse to the upper deck. He was met by a blast of arctic cold as he emerged into a frozen nightmare. Icicles clung to the eaves of the wheelhouse, and a crust of ice was caked on the rails. The boat rocked and pitched. Out in the dark gray morning he saw dim flashes of whitecaps, but mostly the monstrous waves were invisible, they were ghosts. The captain braced against the mast and looked down, surveying the deck. The crane creaked overhead like a gallows. Life rings hung on their hooks, frozen solid to the behind them. Then he caught a whiff of something odd. The oily black smoke seeping from the smokestack and whipping in the wind--it didn't smell like diesel exhaust. The captain rushed back into the wheelhouse and lowered himself down the ladder to the galley. He approached the door leading belowdecks to the engine room. He laid his hand on the latch. It was hot. Something was wrong. Smoke seeped from the cowling. The captain pushed open the door and there, in the bowels of this wooden vessel, flames leaped from the machinery and lapped against the walls. A blast of heat and smoke pushed him back, and the captain slammed the door and turned and ran to wake the crew. Book jacket.

    Thanks tons for this lot of RD magazines - items as described! Postal was a bit rough on your box' journey - great idea to put magazines in padded envelopes lots or your box would have come apart - it was split top to bottom on both sides of box! Thanks for going the extra mile in your packing and couple that with great communication and warp speed processing - deeply appreciated! Highly recommended!
