Default Living on board and Fishing.

Hi all

I'm delving into the sailing world, and reading up as much as possible not only on the technicalities of sailing, but also the lifestyle and so on.

I was reading a fascinating account of long term world crusing by an American family, a very thorough website they have. One thing though, they claim that if they had to live off the sea they would probably starve!

According to one of the late teens on board, they would possibly average 1 fish caught every 10 days or so.....! Could it really be that difficult to catch a fresh fish?? Apparently an extended time in the Caribbean yielded zero fish caught. Wow.

One of the massive draws for me of this lifestyle would be the serenity and the potential to live off the sea, wasting nothing. I'm certain that it is possible to do this, perhaps you just need to right equipment for it!

Anyone got anything to add?
