A good fishing book written by a female fisherman.

"The Hungry Ocean". This book is written by Linda Greenlaw;former captain of F/V Hannah Boden, sister ship of the Andrea Gail. She tells about the business of commercial fishing and the best and worst things that happen. I do not know how many of you have lost friends and enemies at seabut I can tell you this much. It is really hard to go to the dock to board your vessel and look two slips down at the empty spot where one hell of a man once tied up at. They leave an empty spot in your soul when they are lost: no matter whether they were friend or foe.
