About this listen

 In his number-one best seller The Perfect Storm, Sebastian Junger describes Linda Greenlaw as "one of the best sea captains, period, on the East Coast." Now Greenlaw tells her own riveting story of a 30 day swordfishing voyage aboard one of the best-outfitted boats on the East Coast, complete with danger, humor, and characters so colorful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick. The excitement starts immediately, even before Greenlaw and her five-man crew leave the dock - and it doesn't stop until the last page. Under way, she must cope with nasty weather, equipment failure, and treachery aboard ship, not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat.

Displaying a true fisherman's gift for storytelling and a true writer's flair for both drama and reflection, Greenlaw offers an exciting real-life adventure tale filled with the beauty and power of the sea.

Linda book is a well crafted, and when combined with a no holes barred account of how tough the sword fishing industry is, you have a perfect sea adventure. Her skills as a captain are formidable as her ability to take you there. Her reading I found lacked expression but actually it's perfect, I realised as I ventured further. The men and boats are straight talking hard working and so is her reading. I slowed it down to 90% because I felt it was edited to fast, but I bet she reads fast and matches her work ethic. Thank you Linda for reading and writing this special book.
