Not a Bad Life

For all I knew, Frank was just another old, washed-up fisherman who couldn’t leave the water and kept his ancient, somewhat run-down fishing boat and commercial salmon license so he’d have an excuse to hang out at the harbor and go out in the bay a few times a year when the weather was calm to catch enough spring salmon to load his chest freezer. Not a bad life when you think of it.
