Its 1981, and Sylvia Taylor has signed on as rookie deckhand on a wallowy 40foot salmon troller. Looking forward to making money for university, she is determined to master the ins and outs of fishing some of the most dangerous waters in the world: the Graveyard of the Pacific. For four months, she helps navigate the waters off northern Vancouver Island, learning the ways of fisherfolk and the habitat in which they breathe, sleep and survive.The politics of selling fish, the basics of tying gear, neardeath experiences, endless boat troubles, the emotional perils of sharing cramped quartersall are part of a steep and unforgiving learning curve. Taylors story captures the reality of life on a fishboat and documents the end of an era, a time when the fishing industry wasnt yet marred by unchecked overfishing or hyperregulation. Her lyrical, simple prose explores the tightknit relationship of fishers with the west coasts wild, untamed waters. Her memoir bursts with all the humour and hell, peace and upheaval that is the Pacific Ocean.
