Description:
A lively collection of stories about the exciting life and experiences of a salmon charter skipper while out to catch the big one!
Brief description:
Peter L. Gordon skippered his boat MV Kalua, for his charter boat company, Magna Charters, one of the go-to charterers running out of Victoria from 1978 to 1989. A world traveller, Gordon was born in Vietnam, educated in Europe and the United States and enjoyed a film career in Hollywood before settling to a quieter life on Vancouver Island. In addition to working as a charter boat skipper, he ran an equestrian center for many years. Now retired, Peter tells of his sport fishing adventures off the coast of Vancouver Island in his first memoir.
Review Quotes: "Gordon's writing flows as smoothly as Race Passage on a clear day. As something of a memoir, Stalking Salmon & Wrestling Drunks stands in a league of its own, capturing not only the beautiful landscapes of the Gulf Islands but also the eternal effort of working in customer service during Victoria's tourist season."
