Seaworthy: A Swordboat Captain Returns to the Sea
Seaworthy A Swordboat Captain Returns to the Sea Author:Linda Greenlaw Large Paperback. From Booklist: "Fans of The Perfect Storm—book or movie—might remember Greenlaw as the captain of the Hannah Boden, sister ship to the ill-fated Andrea Gale (in the movie she was played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). After the tragic events chronicled in Sebastian Junger’s best-seller, Greenlaw went into a kind of semiretireme... more »nt, trading swordfishing for the slightly less risky lobster fishing. (She also wrote three popular books, including The Hungry Ocean, 1999.) Now, 10 years later, facing high debts and low income from her lobster traps, Greenlaw signs on for a season of swordfishing. She was expecting challenges, but she wasn’t expecting a dilapidated boat, a steep relearning curve, and a stint in a Canadian jail. This account of her return to the swordfish business tells a compelling story of the fishing life. Greenlaw is frank about her mental and physical limitations, but she finds inspiration in her rediscovery of her love of adventure. Readers of her previous books will snap this one up. --David Pitt --This text refers to the Hardcover edition."« less
