Working the Sea

Wendell Seavey was born August 3, 1938 in Southwest Harbor, Maine. As a child he spent most of his time with older fishermen who told stories of their lives. As time passed, life in Benard unfolded with many more stories which Wendell absorbed and remembered with uncanny accuracy. As Wendell became older he melted the experience and teaching of his father and the old men in a unique way.As a man who hears the beat of a different drum, who is open to the universe and nature and its teachings, who's a psychic dreamer and has an iron clad memory for stories, his life is far from that of the average fisherman. He is a man of humor and humility, he is a mischief maker, his use of the language will boggle your mind, and he brings this all together in such a way that all who meet him know there is 'only one Wendell.'
