In Working the Irish Coast, Mike Smylie invites the reader to join him on his twenty-three-day journey around the Irish coast. Sleeping in his van and accompanied by his faithful dog, he leads us on a personal and informative trip, stopping off in many towns and harbours. He chats to the fishermen and boat-builders that he meets along the way, and observes with his expert eye the customs and practices associated with fishing in Ireland. This book includes a large number of photographs and detailed descriptions of the various vessels that are native to Ireland.
