Description: Bijaboji is Betty Carey's spirited account of her solo two-month journey by canoe to Alaska and through some of the most treacherous waters of the Inside Passage, at a time when much of the area was wild and inaccessible. She travels with minimal supplies, almost no money, and often without charts, and she exults in being alone with the wild coastline, up close and at her own pace.
