Sinopsis

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.Combining humour with erudition O?Hanlon has written a vivid and compulsively readable account of a journey that for sheer terror beats all his previous adventures.
