| Description: | Select Guide Rating Describes the author's three-week trip on an Orkney trawler as it journeys far into the north Atlantic in search of its catch. Combining humour with erudition, this title provides an account of this journey. Redmond O''Hanlon describes his extraordinary three-week trip on an Orkney trawler as it journeys far into the north Atlantic in search of its catch. Young skipper Jason Schofield has a 2 million pound overdraft on his boat, the Norlantean, which is why he has to go out in a Category One Force 12 hurricane when the rest of the Scottish fleet has run for shelter. O''Hanlon may not be much help when it comes to seamanship - in the words of one of the crew, he doesn''t know his arse from his tit - but he is able to wax lyrical on the amazing deep-sea fish to be found north of the Wyville Thomson Ridge: greater argentine, flying squid, blue ling, the truly disgusting hagfish and many other exotics. |
