You will look behind the scenes of Maritime Romance: you will learn what dollars smell like, how people open up in different situations, what kind of finds, losses, crime stories, adventures there are, and at the same time you will learn the secrets of preparing delicacies by sailors. The plots of the stories are taken from my personal experience of working at sea. The book will be of interest to current, former and future sailors, as well as their families; personnel of fishing companies and marine research institutes; fishermen from ordinary crew members to fishing generals; fisheries supervision; residents of coastal cities living and working side by side with seafarers.
