The Sea is lapping against the shore where thousands of gulls sit.
Above them, eagles circle calling to one another and out to sea, there is the barking of seals and sea-lions.
My client told me to watch the seas and when I saw the gatherings of the gulls and seals I would know the herring are in.
"Are you a commercial fisherman?" I asked.
"No, just an appreciator of God's table. I have lived on the ocean for 30 years. You learn something from it all the time."
And I learn from him.
What a glorious feast.
