Zihuatanejo is a small fishing village where Captain Abel and Captain Enrique together with Ivan who's the first mate spent a lot of time on the sea as a kid, playing and learning new fishing skills. Even when he and his friends went to school, they were always related to sea activities. They're happy to end up making a living off what he likes the most.
