Steel meets saltwater. On the deck of the Coast Guard cutter Owasso, duty is a constant, and the sea is a relentless master. For Rat, a young deckhand, this voyage to Rio isn't just a job—it's a crucible.

Amidst the grind of shipboard life, a brotherhood is forged. From the seasoned veterans to the green cadets, each man grapples with his own demons, tested by the unforgiving rhythm of the ocean. The Owasso is a world unto itself, where sweat and steel define the day, and the bonds of shared hardship run deep.

This isn't a pleasure cruise. It's a raw, unfiltered look at the lives of men pushed to their limits, facing the challenges of the sea and the complexities of their own natures. In the heart of the equatorial heat, where the line between man and the elements blurs, they discover the true meaning of camaraderie and the enduring spirit of the sailor.

equatorial rhythms – a powerful tale of men, the sea, and the unyielding call of duty.
