RICHARD

Skipper 

YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET ON WELL WITH THE CREW. YOU ARE ALL ON BOARD 24 HOURS A DAY

Working in the fishing industry is great, but also dangerous. Richard is a skipper and knows better than anyone else what to look out for on board: "When the nets are hoisted up, they may contain sharp mussels or stones. The net is so big, you really have to be on the right side to avoid being knocked overboard."
