Codfish, Dogfish, Mermaids and Frank – Coming of Age on the Open Ocean

By Skip DeBrusk

Paperback

Description:

With insight and affection, Skip DeBrusk takes us back to 1951 and the summer he came of age on the Plymouth based fishing boat, the J.L. Stanley and Sons. Captain Frank Savery, an ex-prisoner of the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Alcatraz, provided lessons on leadership, courage and the importance of staying in school. Gritty, humorous and fiercely loyal crew-mates rounded out Skip’s education with jokes, pranks and a few brushes with death.
