Summary

Known to millions of readers of The Perfect Storm as the captain of the Hannah Boden, sister ship to the Andrea Gail, Linda Greenlaw is also known as one of the best sea captains on the East Coast. Here she offers an adventure-soaked tale of her own, complete with danger, humour, and characters so colourful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick.

Author Biography

Linda Greenlaw may well be the world's only woman swordfish captain. Born in Connecticut and raised in Maine, she graduated from Colby College, where she majored in English and government. Named by Boston Magazine as one of the most intriguing women of 1997, Greenlaw currently lives on Isle au Haut, Maine.
