I'm not sure if we are supoosed to be promoting books over here or on the classifieds page, but if you want a really good read about work at sea, try "Working On The Edge" by Spike Walker. I've never met the guy, but he sure knows what it's like fishing in the harsh Bering Sea and writes in a way that keep you turning pages.

Check it out, welcome to the board
