The Sea King Introduction

Nineteen years later and the diesels hammered on.

Props clawing at the sea; spray explodes across the bows as the breakers drain from the gunwales and the man at the helm casts his gaze to the wave-creased horizon in that eternal quest to wring a livelihood from the might of the ocean.

It's a lonely goal, but for as long as there are men and there is sea, there will be those willing to face the full power of the storm to bring home a catch, of fish and crab and lobster, of anything that'll face their nets and their pots – it's a life on the razor's edge, out where it feels like you can see forever.

Out where only the bold or the desperate will ever cast off the moorings, out where only the brave or the foolhardy will ever put to sea.
