CHAPTER 9: THE SNOOK WHISPERER"
"...He was an old salt, a ragged sort of fishing bum, someone you would not look at twice in public, yet there was an air about him, a quiet confidence to his bearing, which belied his shoddy appearance...not a swagger exactly, more of a presence.
His filthy denim shirt, open to the waist, is faded to a robin's egg blue; his shorts, stained with blood, hang off his lean, spare frame, except for a small gut, at odds with the rest of him.
His brown arms, deeply veined and stained the color of tobacco by the sun, stick out from under a grimy black T-shirt with the faded logo of a heavy metal band; his face deeply tanned and lined, is gaunt and salt-silvered like his wisp of a beard, but his eyes are bright blue as the blue ocean itself, with the rough edge of an undertow, darkening his glance like a storm at sea...
...It is said by the sages of old that, if you pursue your dream long enough, with passion and with unswerving devotion, that when you are ready, a guide will miraculously appear, though not always as expected.
This was no well-appointed fisherman stepping forth from the pages of a slick fishing magazine with all the fashionably correct gear and suitible clothing--he didn't even have a tackle box--this was a master fisherman with blood on his hands and fish scales on his ragged cut-offs, a razor-sharp knife in his back pocket, to filet the fish he caught on the spot for dinner, and a strange knowing smile, which seemed to suggest he was not what at first he appeared to be.
Of course, I completely ignored him. Then he does something completely strange..."
