"To thine own self be true" according to Neil Woolward. The responsible existence within our environment equates to actually having an environment that one wishes to live in. Billy Proctor's story, or rather, chronicles of his existence (and family, relatives and friends) of off the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada and how it has.

The descriptions are wonderful of the old times in British Columbia waters. The most striking is the fact that he watched the salmon industry , herring and all other small fisher.
