    Summary:

    The author captures the voices of Coast Guard Skippers, coast pilots, commercial fishermen and divers, tugboaters and deep-sea drillers. Fishermen recall the pandemonium of a fishery opening. A former Coast Guard captain tells a heart-rending story of trying to rescue the crew of a fishboat. The stories are humourous, strange, epic and moving.
