By Anonymous September 7, 2004 -- The Kings of the Sea By: Brian David Williams
How do you measure greatness? Some consider financial security, good health or simply a job well done as an indicator of success. And the career that brings you to this plateau, might take time away from your family, or cause physical an emotional stress. But when the day is done, if you are satisfied and you feel as if you are fulfilling your passion, then any trials which float down your stream are well worth it.
The Kings of the Sea is a testimony of a man and a boy who fulfilled their passion as fisherman. Chelsea Oxford always wanted to become a fisherman, even as a very young child. When he turned thirteen, he skips school and goes down to the river to learn from the best fisherman in the Bahamas, Paul Ronney. Paul tries to discourage Chelsea with his stories of being on the sea for months away from his family, and losing the affection of his children. But Chelsea could only hear the strength of Paul's life lessons while pursing his passion.
"Train yourself to be an early bird; early birds catch the most fish." (pg 24) "Just because your fathr wasn't there of you doesn't mean you have to do the same." (pg 54) "You don't hate people because they make mistakes." (pg 68) These antedotes and many more dangled as bait for Chelsea. He continued to visit with Paul at the river, until he is old enough to set sail alone. He suffered many trials to become the greatest fisherman, even amputating one of his legs to catch a great white shark.
Brian David Williams uses the pen as his fishing rod to reel in a compelling story. His personal history interwines with Paul's many stories. The main goal lies in what it takes to become successful, not only as a fisherman, but any career. Read "The Kings of the Sea" and takes Paul's advice, "Be the best at what you decide to be. Don't ever lose sight of what you believe in." (pg 119)

By Anonymous Take the hassle out of fishing with this handy NEW invention
Carrying all your fishing rods down to the fishing waters can be a pain at the best of times! And then you still have to carry your tackle and other equipment.
This handy NEW invention allows you to carry up to six fishing rods in one hand, easily, comfortably and safely. No more struggle with too much to carry and too few hands.
The RodRak TM fishing rod carrier rack is a patented, new invention by an avid South African fisherman, Leon Alberts, who got tired of struggling with all his fishing rods. He then set out designing a handheld fishing rod carrier rack to make his life easier. In a two-year process of testing materials and testing designs he perfected his invention that will help many a fisherman.
The RodRak™ fishing rod carrier rack is a compact, lightweight and easy to assemble (no tools required) handy hand carrier for up to six fishing rods. Made of sturdy, lightweight moulded plastic, the sides clip on, you hook on the elastics and Viola! you’re ready to rack your rods (fishing rods, that is) and strap them up.
You can carry up to six fishing easily in one hand. This leaves your other hand free for the other essentials, and under your arms, to clamp whatever else you want to handle. There are no metal parts so it is completely rust free.
