I agree on the fishing - anyone who wants a good picture of what those guys face for 30 days at a time (with just a few days in port between trips) could do worse than read "The Perfect Storm" by Sebastian Junger - this is the book that the film was based on, many of the incidents in the film are based on stories told by fishermen (and women) interviewed by Junger while he was researching for the book. Rogue waves, loose gear, any number of things can do serious and deadly harm, especially given that they are well beyond rescue helicopter range and would take days to reach port. One breaking wave that is higher than your boat can handle and it's all over - SAR crews will be lucky to find floating wreckage. <br /> <br />You may have guessed that the sea and ships are some of my other interests...
