An adventure story about life at sea in the southern Pacific Ocean and west of Samoa. It revolves around supplying tuna for the world but more specifically to StarKist. Living in a closed society with many different personalities. This applies to sea going vessels anywhere in the world. Boat captains make all the decisions because it works best that way.

Every boat that has ever gone to sea operates under that system. No matter, the crew is always at the mercy of the captain. As for myself, who served as captain of his own fishing boat for many years while never losing sight of land, going out to sea was an eye opener that lasted a little over three months. A million dollars of experience has enriched my life immeasurably.
