Complicated
The context of this book was a new lingo or slang I was not in tune with. By the middle of the book I understood how some of the words meant but I came to the definition that the goal was to capture whales in the sea. I’m appreciative for the book being free and how being in its manners one could understand a life chosen for treasure far off from land. These men had goals in mind I’ve yet to think for a career but I’m sure it’s not something I would take as a profession. The end was sad and it showed they made a choice for their story to live on as seamen.
