The Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat Captain's Journeyby Linda Greenlaw
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The world's only female swordfishing captain, who gained fame as the source for a character in the best-selling The Perfect Storm, offers a fascinating and brine-soaked tale of a thirty-day swordfishing voyage during which the crew must endure every hardship known to mariners. Reprint. Synopsis:Linda Greenlaw survived the Perfect Storm--in fact, she's a character in Sebastian Junger"s bestselling book, as well as in the acclaimed film. This is her story of stormy life at sea: the tale of a thirty-day swordfishing voyage complete with danger, humor, and characters so colorful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick. On this particular trip, Linda must contend with savage weather, equipment failure, too few fish, and too many sharks — not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat in a state of mind-numbing exhaustion after working ten 21-hour days in a row. At once a thrilling page-turner and a passionate ode to a fascinating way of life, The Hungry Ocean will captivate lovers of the sea, adventure, and literature alike.
Synopsis:The captain of the "Hannah Boden"--sister ship to the "Andrea Gail," the ship lost during 1991's "Perfect Storm" chronicled in Sebastian Junger's bestseller--offers an adventure-soaked tale in this passionate ode to a fascinating way of life.
