Seaworthy, a swordboat captain returns to the sea by Greenlaw_ Linda
Love hearing more escapades of the captain, no matter what type of fish she is going for.
Interesting to hear about how she was caught in the Canadian waters, by accident. Love how she accumulated the crew. Sounds so terrifying and the loss of all the line, argh.
Love action on the sea and the outcome of it all. Hope to read more from this author as I feel I am there fishing with them. What a CREW!
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

I will be reading all of Greenlaw's books... This book, though slightly repetitive at points, perfectly displays the author's love of the sea while she relays a million horrible events that should, in reality, cause disdain, this book held my attention from the moment I opened it. ( )

I am a fan of Linda Greenlaw and it was good to see a book about her returning to the love of her life. The seasoned captain's return was an unmitigated nightmare. Well, except that I guess it was mitigated a bit by the 4 men who were her crew this time out. She left the dock with the greatest 4 guys she ever fished with and they did her proud on this awful trip. Linda writes well and you get caught up in her adventures, but she was "in her head" a lot in this book. It was more reflective than her others. With a vessel they rightfully dubbed, The Shithawk, the trip was one mess after another including somehow, inexplicably drifting into Canadian waters.
It was a quick read and I do like to keep up, not a re-read kind of book. ( )

not really very interesting. she said she couldn't understand the goings on in her court appearance in st. john's and these would be educated people lawyers and judges and cops. yeah right. ( )

Almost unreadable. I found it badly written and the tale largely uninteresting. I enjoy a sea-farin' tale of adventure, but this just was not good. She mentions her age and the size of her shipmates so often it could have been a drinking game. The story itself is so un-engaging that had it not been a book club book, I'd have discarded it after 3 chapters. I wanted to like it, but it just annoyed me. ( )
