The Hungry Ocean by Linda Greenlaw
Linda Greenlaw, who was highlighted in Sebastian Junger s THE PERFECT STORM, was the first female sea captain in the swordfishing fleet. Before switching to fishing lobsters, she regularly landed record amounts of swordfish from the North Atlantic and has skippered a boat through the worst two storms of the century. In THE HUNGRY OCEAN, she relives some of the most exciting and stomach-churning trips of her life including the five-day trip during which she encountered a terrifying 48-hour ocean storm and after which her drunken Uncle Patty died on board. Enthralling, funny and inspiring, Linda Greenlaw s THE HUNGRY OCEAN is a classic real-life adventure story.
