"So your Navy will bring the hash out to my boat?" Bubba asked somewhat incredulously. "Yes, Mr. Lee. We are a poor nation. The beautiful uniforms you see our sailors wear cost more than their first year's wages. So, we allow them to supplement. We all supplement. It will cost you $1,000 U.S." ...

Robalone,
Michael Koepf here, an old name from those endless swells that have passed us by. Rob, I've just finished reading Bootlegger's Cove and I truly loved it. You've baited your hook with words, and pulled a wondrous story from that sea within your heart. It's an important book both as literature and as a history of the struggle of salmon fisherman, and of an era that's important history.

Mike
~Mike Koeph, Author "The Fisherman's Son"
Please take note: Susan, in "Bootlegger's Cove," is a fictional chracter. Her relationship to Gar in the book's very end is made up. Any resemblence to any one real, is only because of my lack of imagination.
