At the age of 50 Ian Martin gave up his regular job and moved to a remote coastal village near the southern tip of Africa. Drawing on his experiences as an insurance clerk, naval store man, lavatory attendant, assistant farm foreman,temporary school teacher, hospital orderly, weather station medic and house builder, he began the next phase of his life. Now, after more than a decade, he has produced three novels, a fictionalized autobiography and many short articles and stories, and he is still writing. When asked how he has been able to survive for so long without having written a bestseller, he says he is entirely dependent on his wife, who goes out to work. Otherwise he would have died from starvation.
Sedrick and Monty take on any client prepared to pay for their services. And when they are not working they do what other men do in Gansbaai. They sit around getting wasted, or they drive off with their fishing rods and a cooler box.
Monty was one of the low-life angling fraternity Sedrick had fallen in with while he was shacked up with Avril the ball-breaker. They did not have much in common but kind of complemented each other. Sedrick was an intellectual who read a great deal and spent a lot of time staring into space thinking about the meaning of existence, while Monty was about as bright as your average moron with a matric certificate, an ID and a driver's license, and was content to just exist. They got along just fine.
