She lives on Isle au Haut, off the coast of Maine.         Klappentext 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.
