About this ebook
Justin has taken over the Calypso, but doubts linger about whether his heart is truly in seining. With family dynamics shifting and new commercial fishing areas opening after years of closure, Justin contemplates whether it’s time to explore a different path. The pressures mount as he strives to hold everything together when Ginny refuses to switch boats and work with him.
Case is determined to leave commercial fishing behind. With aspirations to soar in the skies rather than navigate turbulent waters, he grapples with his newfound identity while reconnecting with friends and confronting past relationships—especially with his best friend, Chelsea, who has returned from abroad with a fresh sense of purpose.

Moving from emotional turbulence to moments of laughter, Aialik Bay weaves together the intimate struggles of a family finding its way amidst the demands of the fishing industry and the environmental issues that loom large. Will the Nichols family emerge stronger from this season of change, or will the strongly swirling currents pull them apart?

Experience the vivid landscape and heartfelt connections as they grapple with love, loss, and the fight for a sustainable future—strong language included.
About the author
Max was born in Seward and has spent most of his life there and in the bays of the North Gulf Coast of Alaska. His father was a commercial fisherman and Max has spent his life fishing for fun, for food, and to support his family.
With fifty years of experience, he’s watched biologists attempt to change everything imaginable about fishing and it never works. He adamantly opposes man’s interference with the natural wild salmon stocks because he’s seen way too much damage it’s done.
When he’s not fishing or working on boats and gear, Max enjoys campfires on his property and traveling the lower 48 states during the darkest days of winter.
Max traces his heritage to Kodiak and the Aleutian Islands.
