Download or read book Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle written by Tom Hunt and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle is a book of short stories set in southeast Alaska on an archipelago about the size of Florida. There are not many people and most of them live in a few small scattered towns. Some live in the more remote areas of the thousands of miles of coastline and hundreds of backwater bays and coves, making a living at whatever is available. Alaska is a place where geography and weather dictate human behavior, and that could mean eating the same dried beans, rice, deer meat and fish for a good part of the year. With no freeways and little law enforcement (a 911call means contacting the Coast Guard), people must learn to be self-sufficient, especially in times of emergencies. Sometimes people make their own solutions to solve problems. If a solution doesn't work and you're still alive, it's time to try another! The folks that live in this remote part of Alaska do whatever it takes to make it work. There's a freedom that can't be had in civilization, but the price is high. These are their stories.

Book excerpt: "Bob Adkins came to Southeast Alaska in 1964, planning to stay a year or two at the most. Forty-eight years later he's still here, and has lived "The Alaskan Dream" that many imagine, but few fulfill. Bob learned to fly in 1966 and went on to obtain private, commercial, instrument, and multi-engine ratings. He also became a certified flight instructor, and flew 12 seasons as a commercial air taxi pilot. From the succinct entries that fill three pilot log books come most of the stories and events that comprise Panhandle Pilot. Some of the stories are amusing, some are ironic, some are sad, some are thought provoking. Panhandle Pilot also gives the reader insight into the air taxi industry that is so vitally important to residents and businesses in Alaska's panhandle."--P. [4] of cover.
