Publishers Description: For over a century the Warren family have earned a hard and dangerous living, fishing out of Eden on the south coast of New South Wales. From the family's first fisherman in the late nineteenth century, Old Ike - a piratical sea dog, not above a bit of smuggling if he could get away with it - sailing up and down the coast in an open boat, to today's generation using all the sophisticated equipment of the twenty-first century, this is an intimate portrait of a little-known side of Australian life, an examination of those who earn their living from that most dangerous and unforgiving of environments - the sea. Filled with unforgettable characters, adventure, humour and poignancy, this is a remarkable and moving story of an Australian dynasty - showing just how extraordinary the ordinary can be.
