Seaworthy a swordboat captain returns to the sea
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.

- "The bestselling author's sequel to "The Hungry Ocean" is a fast-paced account of her return to swordfishing. Capturing the moment-by-moment details of her journey, "Seaworthy" is Greenlaw's compelling narrative about a person setting her own terms and finding her true self between land and water."

- "With bills piling up and her lobster traps not supplying enough income, the author accepts a captaincy on a friend's boat for a season of swordfishing. Set against the backdrop of the Grand Banks, her journey is full of surprises that even she, an experienced sailor, could not have predicted."@en
- "Linda Greenlaw hadn't been blue-water fishing for ten years, since the great events chronicled in The Perfect Storm and The Hungry Ocean, when an old friend offered her the captaincy on his boat, Seahawk, for a season of swordfishing. She took the bait, of course, and thus opened a new chapter in a life that had already seen enough adventure for three lifetimes. The Seahawk turns out to be the rustiest of buckets, with sprung, busted, and ancient equipment guaranteed to fail at any critical moment. Life is never dull out on the Grand Banks, and no one is better at capturing the flavor and details of the wild ride that is swordfishing, from the technical complexities of longline fishing and the nuances of reading the weather and waves to the sheer beauty of the open water."@en
