The Hungry Ocean

Those that enjoyed the book and movie, The Perfect Storm, will enjoy Linda Greenlaw's autobiographical account of her training and experience as Captain of her own swordfishing boat. She contends with weather, equipment failure, sharks, the crew, and 30 days of grueling 21-hour days off the coast of Newfoundland. Her story is a modern day, Moby Dick, where Ahab becomes Linda. The commercial fisherman's life is both exhilarating and laborious where pounds of fish determine your destiny.
