He joined the Navy at age 17 and stayed in it until he was 46. Throughout much of his Naval career and during most of his post-retirement life, he went off-shore and deep-sea fishing on a regular basis. I grew up eating the albacore, yellow fin and big eye tuna that he brought home, and his old den at home is covered with photos of sail- and swordfish that he caught in various parts of the world. He's been gone for 12 years now -- his ashes scattered into the Pacific near one of his favorite fishing spots, the Coronado Islands off of Baja California -- but your posting made me smile and think of him again. Thank you. ..bruce.. This was my late father’s favorite poem, the only one I ever recall him reciting from memory. He joined the Navy at age 17 and stayed in it until he was 46.
