This is the story of his apprenticeship with Bernard Raynes, one of Maine's last independent commercial fishermen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Doryman's Reflection\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to those who want to know what really happened, and what will happen, on our oceans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart coming-of-age memoir, part biography, it is a very personal account of what families in this dying but important industry face each day.
