When were they...hehehe I started working on a fishing boat at 14 and between that,getting a trade,working all around the world,fishing,working,raising a family,fishing etc. It took me 43 years to have a true vacation. !!!!! Fishing is what stolled my heart.!!!! I love the sea but it took a big toll sometimes.Small boat ,big seas !!!! not a good combo !!! Most excitment at sea...We were dragging scallops in The Money Maker and my shaft twisted when trying to get out of the perfect storm.It took about 20 hours to repair in 25 foot seas in a 45 ft boat.It pushed us backwards 80 miles with no control of The Money Maker at all.THEN !!!! did we have enough fuel ???? Well I guess we did...but I looked like I just went 3 rounds of UFC fighting and LOST !!!!! I was black and blue for 2 weeks.And yes I am talking about The Perfect Storm...but I was 3 hundred miles from the centre BUT !!!! it was intense !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Fishin' ain't no job..it's a life style.This is year 50 BUT I am now retired.....I think. The 2 things I have learned are 1. there is no such thing as can't. 2. NEVER !!!!!! trust anyone that finished a sentence with the word "but".
