In 1974 "Bobby Magic", Darwin fisherman and author of the book, was a witness to the destruction - from his own wheelhouse - as he tried to keep himself and his crew alive.
"I did battle with the strongest winds ever recorded on the planet earth, and lived to tell the tale, " Bobby proclaimed.
The book does not just tell a story about a fisherman, but also about Bobby Magic, famous for being the youngest skipper who caught the most prawns in one season.
He is a rebel, a fisherman, a trawler man and now he is ready to tell it how it really happened. The book is for everyone who seeks a thrilling and entertaining adventure.
"If you eat fish and chips you should read my book to get an insight as to where your fish comes from and how hard it was getting it on to your plate."
Bob's book is dedicated to all seafarers who struggle every day to earn a living against obstacles far in excess of the average person's daily challenges.
