The Hungry Ocean by Linda Greenlaw
In his number-one bestseller, The Perfect Storm, Sebastian Junger describes Linda Greenlaw as one of the best sea captains, period, on the East Coast. Now Greenlaw tells her own riveting story of a thirty-day swordfishing voyage aboard one of the best-outfitted boats on the East Coast, complete with danger, humor, and characters so colorful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick. The excitement starts immediately, even before Greenlaw and her five-man crew leave the dock - and it doesn't stop until the last page. Under way, she must cope with nasty weather, equipment failure, and treachery aboard ship, not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat. Displaying a true fisherman's gift for storytelling and a true writer's flair for both drama and reflection, Greenlaw offers an exciting real-life adventure tale filled with the beauty and power of the sea.Linda Greenlaw has been a deep-sea fisherman for 18 years, and she is the Grand Banks Fleet's first and only female swordfish captain. This led to a key position in Sebastian Junger's best-selling novel The Perfect Storm, as well as a protrayal in the film adaptation. She was born and raised in Maine and attended Colby College. Greenlaw presently resides on Isle du Haut, Maine, and works as a lobster boat captain.
