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.
