From Beyond the Edge: Adventures of an Alaskan Crabber

By Rick Abbott

Rick Abbott's first hand account of his life as an Alaskan commercial crabber, fisherman and unchained free spirit takes the reader on an unforgettable roller coaster adventure set in one of the most extreme environments in the world. It is an intimate account told with uncanny honesty, revealing all the highs and lows of a man refusing to conform in a search of his and our true spiritual destiny. Captain Abbott's wild ride profoundly changed his life and may change the reader's as well. "Rick and I long-lined and crabbed the Gulf of Alaska for over a decade. He has truly lived a life beyond the edge, from sinking ships, to raging avalanches, to risking life and limb saving fellow seamen. If you enjoyed "Deadliest Catch", this adventure will kick it out of the park." Capt. Chris Eilbes - USCG Licensed Captain and Commercial Crabber "Somebody from the crew would need to fight the sea and get ashore. If the body were dead, the crew of the Rebecca B would bring it to Sand Point, if alive they would perform a miracle rescue. So in his survival suit, Rick Abbott swam to shore with a line." Bradford Matson - National Fisherman Magazine, August 1989
