The Hungry Ocean by Linda Greenlaw (2000, Trade Paperback). Shipped with USPS Media Mail. This book is in like-new condition.
Greenlaw's straightforward, uncluttered prose underscores the qualities that make her a good captain, regardless of gender: fairness, physical and mental endurance, obsessive attention to detail. But, ultimately, Greenlaw proves that the love of fishing -- in all of its grueling, isolating, suspenseful glory -- is a matter of the heart and blood, not the mind.
