Williwaw winds / Sally Bair.
"When sixteen-year-old Jake Bergren and the other crewmen of the Danny Boy face violent "williwaw" winds of the Bering Sea, Jake is terrified they won't survive. The winds are too strong, too brutal, he believes, as the boat plunges into the troughs of the sea, west of Kodiak Island. Gaining speed and strength while crossing the Bering Sea and ascending the Alaska mountain range, the wicked winds assault the icy water. Jake is past the limit of endurance. This crabbing trip has been a nightmare from the start. Days of seasickness. Weeks of little sleep. Brutally hard work causing his muscles to scream in agony. Cruel taunts and bullying from fellow crewman, Freddy Schumaker. Nothing has gone as planned. When Jake left Homer, Alaska, just five weeks ago for crabbying, he dreamed of earning big moeny for college. He also wanted to escape the unbearable changes at home brought about by his sister's suffering since her recent accident. And get away from his Bible-thumping dad."--back cover.
