Describes life as a young crewman aboard the Looe lugger Iris in the 1960s. The author presents an account of the hardships he encountered at sea: overcoming sea-sickness, fatigue, being cold and wet while working by day and night hauling nets and lines, and more.
In this sequel to his much-acclaimed first book 'Once Aboard A Cornish Lugger', Paul Greenwood draws on his own experiences in the 1970s and 1980s to graphically bring to life the hardships and dangers faced by Cornish fishermen.
