Day by Day to Alaska: Queen Charlotte Islands and Around Vancouver Island
Skipper-author Dale R Petersen is a third generation Puget Sound boater. His grandfather came from Denmark to farm and work on the first floating dry-dock on Puget Sound. Transportation for him was a rowboat. His father built a boat in Alaska for his work and built them for his pleasure on Puget Sound. Dale built his first boat and with six boats has plied waters from coast to coast for over 50 years. Cruising the waters of Alaska and British Columbia for him is an ultimate retirement fulfillment of dreams. Writing about his boating adventures is a sharing for the pleasure of others.Dale has been a paperboy, farm worker, janitor, draftsman, tutor, researcher. Later he was an Army officer, engineer, manager, contractor and now an author. He served as President of four small corporations but the titles of husband and Dad mean more to him. He is a common man who has pursued adventures. Born in Montana, Dale lived and was educated there and in Oregon and Washington. The latter he calls home after working or visiting in all 50 States and some foreign countries. He is proud to be a Cougar graduate of Washington State University
