Here are Sams first-hand accounts of his life at sea, from the terror of a vessel sinking in the middle of the night, to the excitement of dragging up unexploded depth charges and great white sharks in the nets, to the grueling toil and ultimate satisfaction that comes with an honest days haul. Captain Sam introduces a whole host of colorful charactersfrom loving grandmothers to eccentric neighborsall of whom played a role in shaping Sams life and seafaring career.
