Places

Alaska is larger than Texas, California and Montana–combined. The stories in our books take place in areas surrounding the Gulf of Alaska, which is slightly smaller than the Gulf of Mexico. Below is a zoom in on Google Maps of the Kenai Peninsula. There is one highway–2 lane for the most part–going south from Anchorage to Homer (~225 miles/3.5 hour drive), with a branch off to Seward (~125 miles/2 hour drive). Prince William Sound is in the upper right corner of the blue box below. In Rocky Bay, the seiner Stormy C travels from Seward (center of the box) to Valdez, through Prince William Sound.

Below, within the larger outline, is a closer view of the areas fished in the books: Rocky Bay, K Bay, Windy Bay, and Nuka Bay. Res Bay is in the upper box. It generally takes a seiner two days to go from Res Bay (Seward) to K Bay (Homer).
