The author is spending an afternoon and evening at the Dry Dock Bar with her old friend and mentor, Alden. His health is waning and she hopes to encourage him to retire from commercial fishing. Eventually, after hours of reflecting on memorable stories about the life and trials of a commercial fisherman at sea, she gets around to making the suggestion. There are stories about the passion fisherman have to sail the seas, their unique personalities and risk-taking behavior, and some harrowing tales of navigating severe weather. Linda Greenlaw is a talented writer, and after reading her first two books, The Hungry Ocean and The Lobster Chronicles, this book did not disappoint.
