Description:
    This book is a memoir of a time when men caught fish from the sixty boats that called Provincetown MA home, a time before the change in government policy when fishermen were encouraged to fish and a time where fishing supported hundred of shore side businesses and thousands of families. Provincetown Harbor to Cape Cod Bay, Nantucket Sound and the Atlantic Ocean while living aboard a boat that has been continually fishing since 1927, This adventure is brought to life by the wife of a Cape Cod fisherman. The book will explain with first hand knowledge what it means to be part of a fishing family. Their fight to continue in a traditional family fishing business is fraught with federal regulations that have destroyed many of the local businesses. Their story sheds light on the question: where have all the fishing boats gone?
