Stowaway
On this edition, we hear from the great songwriter Johnny Duhan, and how he was caught as a stowaway on a Norwegian ship. We examine the future of the marine economy, hear from an Irish husband and wife sailing in the Caribbean and we talk about that questionable description of fishermen as fishers.
