The Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat Captain's Journey

Adding it to the Bio/Humor VBB.
An enjoyable read and a chance to get a real inside glimpse of the world of commercial fishing boats. I did find some of the technical language challenging, because I kept forgetting how she had explained terms in the previous chapter. I have always known I am not cut out for a life at sea, even though I don't get seasick, and the stories of fish guts and long nights and little sleep and limited hot water or time to myself reinforced that idea. I would prefer to just sit by the water and read books like this. I did appreciate the way she dealth with challenges that came up and her humorous stories of the clash of personalities in a small space. Anyone who reads this book and enjoys it would also like her other two books, The Lobster Chronicles and All Fishermen are Liars.
