  Deckhand on the Ebba Maria for thirty years

  Bertil said the sea gives you two warnings and then stops being polite. In thirty years on his deck I never saw him miss the second one. He sent us home early in 1999 when the sky was a pretty colour, and the storm arrived three hours later. Quite literally, we owe him our lives.
