<h3>The Hungry Ocean</h3></p><h4> by Linda Greenlaw</h4></p> Captaining an American swordfish boat is an accomplishment worthy of respect, Linda Greenlaw became one of the most successful captains in the American fleet and as the The Hungry Ocean attests, she is an accomplished writer with a fine eye for detail. </p> International law forces American swordfish boats to fish a thousand miles from their home ports. Sword boats must be tough, self-reliant and resourceful. Each night, thirty miles of carefully positioned line carrying thousands of baited hooks set to right depth are set adrift in the warm waters of the stream - hauled back aboard the next morning, foot by foot, hopefully including a good number of fish.<div class='yvComment'> <div class='NumCommentsAlone'> <a href='/general-interest/non-fiction/60-sword-boats.html#yvComment'>Add your comment</a> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="modifydate"> Last Updated on Sunday, 08 June 2008 18:40 </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <a href="/general-interest/non-fiction/60-sword-boats.html" class="readon"> Read more...</a> </td> </tr> </table> <span class="article_separator"> </span> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center"> <br /><br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center"> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> <td id="rightcol" style="width:225px;"> <div class="inside"> <div class="module"> <div> <div> <div> <h3>Related Items</h3> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="module"> <div> <div> <div> <h3>Who's Online</h3> We have 2 guests online </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="module"> <div> <div> <div> <SCRIPT charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822/US/nautread-20/8002/3b5475b6-da5e-4688-af83-24df98a37bdd"> </SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT><A HREF="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fnautread-20%2F8002%2F3b5475b6-da5e-4688-af83-24df98a37bdd&Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com Widgets</A></NOSCRIPT> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </td> <!-- END CENTER STYLE --> </tr> </table> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> <div class="footer"><ul class="menu"><li class="item92"><a href="/site-map.html"><span>Site Map</span></a></li></ul><div>Copyright © 2010 NauticalReads.
