Sea Library

General Features

As the title suggests, this section of the SEA Library deals with articles of lifestyle, living and a general nature. An unusual section (in the context of a national boating magazine) but as you can read, understanding the ways of the irukandji jellyfish is certainly a life-matter, as will Dr David Hopley’s timely report on ciguatera. Or for that matter, how (and why) a Victorian family decided to pull stumps (and their two children!) out of school and moved from one end of Australia to the other, in the pursuit of a better lifestyle. Did the Sea Change work for them? And why does the name Pleysier make gamefisherman and brokers go weak at the knees? Read about this man’s remarkable career in this widely acclaimed, special F&B feature.
