Tales of fishing, storms, adventure, and Dan's own shipwrecks are woven into a story that reveals deeper truths about life and our spiritual quest to connect with something greater than ourselves. A compelling page turner, it is a quick but profound read. The author's gradual understanding of himself unfolds along with his further understanding of what makes us all tick, and what our real needs are. Valuable real life lessons are learned through his joys and struggles. Water, weather, fish, and boats contribute to richly described life lessons in allegory.
The discovery of the ultimate relationship is the crown jewel of this book. Keating is made aware of the ultimate Captain, the Creator of the sea, the winds, the fish, and all that is, including Dan Keating.
A very gritty, non-flowery reality, Keating offers true help and direction for those who may be unsure about the spiritual need of all of us. As an able Captain responsible for lives on big water, and serving as a guide to the best possible catch, the Captain here also proves reliable in things of utmost importance.
