Less than 200 years ago, North Pacific right whales thrived in the Pacific Ocean. Beginning in 1835 and continuing into the 1970s these charismatic animals were intensely targeted by commercial whaling. Today only thirty remain off the coast of North America.  A group of friends has fallen in love with the world’s rarest whale after a sighting near their Seattle home. Being sailors, they put to sea to find one.

Right Over the Edge voyages with this crew out of the Salish Sea, north into the Bering Sea, and way out of everyone’s comfort zone. The more they learn about the North Pacific right whale’s tragic history and present threats, the harder they search, believing that finding one will bring the world’s attention to a species of whale likely to go extinct if urgent action isn’t taken to save them.
