Still, in fishing season the days start at about 3 a.m. and leave Steele exhausted. Decades at sea have taken their toll on his skin and his hearing: "I'm half-deaf from...
...Then there's the matter of trying to sell stuff. For a while she worked in the surf shop, which seems like a good fit for a surfie chick. But Biles, 27, couldn't bear having to push people toward clothing that they didn't come to buy. She's happier now next door serving in the Perfect Break vegetarian caf?, where people ask her for a coffee and that's what she gives them...
