From Newfoundland to Norway, the European fishing fleet operates 24 hours a day, battling the elements and unforgiving seas. On a three-week fishing trip, the trawler only devotes about a week to fishing; the remaining two weeks are needed for travel to and from the fishing grounds. These trawlers are equipped with electronic equipment such as navigation aids, echo sonar and an automatic fish school detection system that indicates the density of fish populations. Trawlers of this type drag their trawls on the right side (starboard side). The crew is 19 men.

Scarlett V. ★★★★★

The way it breaks down the brutal three-week schedule—just one week of actual fishing—really puts the crew's endurance into perspective. The chapter on North Sea storms had me gripping the book.

Henry F. ★★★★★

The layout is smartly organized for a long haul—everything I need for the daily grind is within arm's reach, and the way it handles the heavy swell on the North Sea run is rock solid. I've spent my share of weeks at sea, and this one makes the 24-hour shifts feel a lot less punishing.

Took this out for a three-week run and was surprised how much of that time is actually spent just getting to the fishing grounds—the schedule worked out to about a week of real fishing, which is a lot more honest than most boats. It handled the North Sea chop without complaint, and the layout makes
