This piece, which appeared in Outside magazine in 1995 and was originally recorded for Rough Water: Stories of Survival from the Sea, is about an old man, a Bequian harpooner, who uses a wooden sailboat to hunt humpback whales. The piece is an elegy of sorts—an unsentimental lament for something lost.
