Editor's Note:
Robert 'Jake' Jacob passed away on September 10, 2018, in Astoria, Oregon. Earlier that year, I was
privileged to assist Jake with his memoir, I Wouldn't Recommend This: What Not to Do Spring Term of
Your Senior Year in College.
In Jake's words: "My story begins at the University of Oregon when I was a successful student of
architecture, and where a single college bet altered the next few years of my life. This book is not for
everyone. It is raw and honest. It is how I remember it. Even though this was a bizarre time in my life,
I hope you find humor in my unexpected journey."

Just Movin' the Water Around
Much of this book is anecdotal, a retelling of the author's personal fishing stories and of
other fishers who, in the 1970s, "slipped off the sands of Cannon Beach" in 20-foot-long
dories seeking salmon, coho, cod, rockfish and crabs. Also included is a brief history of dory
fishing, a dory glossary, a list of captains and their boats, and numerous photos.
Written by Peter Lindsey
Drawings by Sally Lackaff
Cover art by Drea Rose Frost
ISBN 978-0-9826252-4-8
$19.95
Peter Lindsey hopes this book will preserve a measure of this vanishing fishing way of life once practiced in Cannon Beach.
