Nieuw boek.

In dit waar gebeurde verhaal over piraten, stropen en de volmaakte vis maakt G. Bruce Knecht duidelijk hoe bedreigend de huidige visserijpraktijk is voor de toekomst van het zeeleven. Hij beschrijft de jacht van de Australische visserij-inspectie op de Viarsa-1, een grote vissersboot die tot de nok volgeladen is met illegaal gevangen ijsheek.
 
NBD|Biblion recensie:
De auteur van dit boek stelt het leegroven van de zeeën in een fictie-achtig verslag aan de kaak. Een aanvankelijk aan de straatstenen niet te slijten onaantrekkelijke grote vis wordt door succesvolle marketing (Chileense zeebaars klinkt een stuk beter dan ijsheek) zo populair in de betere Amerikaanse restaurants dat dit leidt tot een grote vraag en dus illegale visvangst. Parallel hieraan speelt de spannende achtervolging van een betrapt visfabriekschip door een Australisch inspectie-schip. Dit speelt in de stormachtige en met ijsbergen bezaaide Antarctische wateren. Er volgt een rechtszaak waarbij de reder vanwege de enorme financiële belangen topadvocaten heeft ingehuurd. Wegens gebrek aan bewijs volgt vrijspraak. Schrijver is journalist van de Wall Street Journal, en geeft het verhaal veel documentatie mee over de door overbevissing instortende vispopulaties, maar ook over de achtergronden en drijfveren van de betrokkenen, beschermers en stropers. Met een katern van 34 zwart-witfoto's van betrokkenen, schepen en weersomstandigheden. Het boek leest als een spannende roman.

Light, retro watch
Color: Brown/Brown/Natural
This is a light, comfortable and retro-stylish watch. A mixture of plastic, canvas, and faux-leather makes a good match for a college professor's tweed jacket with leather shoulders and elbow patches. It looks and feels cheap but it's actually a pretty good watch. Mine has a high contrast face making it easy to read. The hands have lume on them but it only glows for a few minutes. There is an indiglo feature when you press the winder so that's great. The day window is tiny and almost unreadable even with reading classes but other than that it is very functional. You can adjust the time and day independently (so you don't have to wind through 100+ hours to get the right day displayed). The winder setting to select between time and day adjust is very finicky. Fortunately you only need to adjust the day 5 times a year. The weakest part is the build quality. I'm not expecting Rolex, but the case corrodes really badly and the strap is short and the stitching failed so it fell off my wrist in about 6 months. I replaced the strap with a better one but the case corroded so badly I tossed it within a year. Other than looking cheap, poor build quality, and being thicker than I would like, I think this is a good watch.

A nice, comfortable watch.
Color: Black/ Green
A nice inexpensive everyday watch. It is accurate, a nice size for my wrists. You barely feel it as it is so light. it has a nice clear face Andy only gripe is that I wished it had slightly better loom. Other than that it is a great watch for the money and this is coming from someone with 30+ watches in my collection in all price ranges. It has earned its way into my regular watch rotation.

Good Watch for use in water.
Color: Black/ Green
Here's the deal. It's an excellent plastic watch. If you don't abuse it, it should last years. The advantage of metal bodies and crystal faces, is that they're lot more resistant to scratches compared to plastic, BUT they weigh a lot more than plastic watches. I love the size of this watch while at the same time, it surprisingly light on the wrist. Therefore it doesn't move all around like a heavy steel watch. I hardly know Im wearing this plastic watch. Also, I went snorkling offshore for a week with this watch, no leaks, no problems. It will stand up to water fine. So, if you don't abuse it, its a pleasure to wear, lightweight, waterproof, doesnt slip around, looks good. I imagine the battery should last 3-5 yrs like my last plastic quartz watch. For the price, its a very good watch.
