During the voyage Greenlaw must contend with savage weather, equipment failure, too few fish, and too many sharks -- not to mention the routinely backbreaking work of operating a fishing boat in a state of mind-numbing exhaustion after working ten twenty-one hour days in a row. With a true fisherman's gift for spinning a yarn and a voice that's wry, honest, and all her own, Greenlaw brings readers right on deck with her and her crew, re-creating the experience of going for the big haul against awesome odds.
