The Waterman

"The Waterman is the story of Clay Wakeman, born and raised on the Chesapeake Bay. When his father is lost in a storm off the Eastern Shore, Clay drops out of college to take possession of his father's boat and of his work as a waterman - that is, as an independent commercial fisherman."--BOOK JACKET. "Since the old boat constitutes his sole inheritance, it means everything to Clay. He renames it the "Miss Sara" after his mother and recruits his oldest friend, Byron to join him in a start-up crabbing business."--BOOK JACKET. "Just as Clay and Byron are breaking even, Hurricane Agnes roars in to ruin the salinity of the eastern Bay waters, forcing them across the Bay to crab along the Virginia shoreline. It's in those unfamiliar waters that their real troubles begin. Clay falls irrevocably in love with the already spoken for Kate; Byron's post-traumatic stress kicks in with even greater vengeance; and, out in the Bay, the partners stumble onto a drug ring."--BOOK JACKET.
