01/04/2005: "CRUEL SEA"

The Cruel Sea was a British book about WWII and the navy. The cover inspired me to buy it, even although I was just a little kid. I never read much of the book, I was still into Enid Blyton stories. But I always liked the cover - an overcast sky with Atlantic sea swells as seen from a big ship.

This location (pictured) is a tropical coral lagoon on the Great Barrier Reef as a rain squal passes through. It reminds me of that book cover many years ago. The sea is cruel, but that's the way it is. Everything in the sea eats something else.

A watery hell says Keith Adams in Northern Safari the famous outback and coastal documentary.
