Aialik Bay

Justin’s taken over the Calypso but he’s not sure his heart’s still in seining. Maybe it’s time to try something new?

Between family and crew, it’s a world of change for the Nichols family as another season begins, opening commercial fishing areas that have been closed for too many years.



Aialik Bay picks up where Taylor Bay ends, following the seiners through the next year of life and commercial fishing along the north coast of the Gulf of Alaska.

Still at the helm of the Calypso, Justin can’t get Ginny to switch boats or tell him why she won’t. With his twin refusing to come back as skiffman, he’s down a crewman in a year where no one seems to fit.

Case is done commercial fishing and he can’t say it often enough. Flying in the sky above the boats is where he wants to be but it’s his connections that keep him airborne.
Pete’s work is satisfying, he’s got a knack he never knew was there. If he could only get his personal life to run as smoothly.

Aialik Bay is the sixth in the Thunder Bay Seiner Series - a contemporary saga exploring the intertwined lives and loves of a commercial fishing family working the rough waters of untamed, wild Alaska. Strong emotions, salty language.
