Hi everyone, do you know that whole fishing communities have been wiped out because of weather in the UK, this would be a great program for the Discovery team to delve into, the amount of accidents\fatalities\collisions\fires and groundings that happen in the fleet is crazy.
Rogue Waves in the North Sea is another thing that the fishermen have to put up with beside other things like Sleep deperavation, I should know, I'm an Ex-fisherman, been there, seen it and done it, still have nightmares about one scene, the Piper Alpha, we were searching for casulties in our fishing vessel, all we found was a liferaft burned, sad day that was, so theres lots of scope for the discovery team to build a documentary on other types of fishing, lets know what others think, cheers and have a nice day

I would love it. Anything to do with the sea I find fasinating. There was a program on not so long ago about some lay-about, work-shy lads who spent time WORKING on a fishing trawler. That showed great insight into the fishermens work, I didn't know what was involved on board a boat. I think it was just of the Scotish Coast, Oben! but could be wrong. Cheers

Cheers for that tip. I never saw that program, but will check it out. I would love to live by the sea on a rugged coast line, however if I did my fasination of the sea may decline. When it's on your door step it may not be the same, Who knows!
