Raban sails single-handed from Seattle to Juneau through the middle passage. This is a wistful journey for an elderly travel writer with acute sense of place and history. Modern times have deprived former thriving seaboard communities. There are echoes in the author’s private life (no spoilers) which are made even more poignant by threading into his travels the fortunes of Captain Vancouver who charted the American Northwest in the late C18th. Evocative stuff!
