Before reading this book, I didn't have much of an understanding about the degree of crimes committed at sea, which is why the first chapter moved me the most. Right from the get go, it put into perspective how extreme and unforgiving life on the water can be. I couldn't believe the chase between the Bob Barker and the Thunder, and the lengths in which some of these ships go to in order to avoid the law (and lack of enforcement). The whole book really opened my eyes to another world and I wanted to convey that feeling with these songs. Bottom Of The Ocean EP out now: louisfuton.ffm.to/bottomoftheocean
