Biography

America's only female swordfish boat captain returns with this long- awaited follow-up to the bestselling "The Hungry Ocean."
After the exploits recounted in "The Perfect Storm" and "The Hungry Ocean" that made her a sensation, Linda Greenlaw took a ten- year hiatus from blue-water fishing. When an old friend offered her a captaincy on his swordboat, Greenlaw ditched her mounting bills and headed for the sea. Full of adventure and thought-provoking reflection, "Seaworthy" recounts her return to the beautiful and deadly Grand Banks -from the nuances of reading weather and the complexities of longline fishing to the surprise of landing in jail for crossing into Canadian waters. The result is both a wild ride and a memorable look at one woman's struggle to define her own limits.
