the interviews just never stop, we were battered from start to finish. how they got our numbers puzzled me.

the so called "whale dick" that the sun wanted us to eat. left to right was salmon, what I think was clay or tarmac, a funny beef some spuds and dried fish. it was dreadful, it stunk and I refused point blank to even taste it. Ian on the other hand said mmmm and wolfed it down. a better man than me I can tell you.
 
This story is legendary. Loving the pictures and the 442 article. In some ways it's a shame you never got to go on the trawler but in other ways the manner in which you got there just added to the adventure.
