Film - Frosty on wild fishing weather

Frosty on wild fishing weather

Frosty on wild fishing weather
Amy: Again, people that have different relationships with the water or different jobs like that, weather means different things.
Frosty: Did you see that photo downstairs? Go walk down the stairs and have a look at the picture on the wall.
Amy: Who got that photo? That's pretty amazing
Frosty: A local bloke. That's us coming into the harbour in a bad easterly. The weather's about keeping your head together. Not letting it get on top of you. And knowing what your boat is capable of and what you're capable of. Not pushing it. Well, we used to push the limits, but within reason, I thought. You know, I always brought it home. You know, we had a few hairy moments at times, but we always got home.
