January Book: The Hungry Ocean: A Swordboat Captain’s Journey by Linda Greenlaw.

Linda Greenlaw offers an adventure-soaked tale of her own, complete with danger, humor, and characters so colorful they seem to have been ripped from the pages of Moby Dick. “A beautiful book . . . a story of triumph, of a woman not only making it but succeeding at the highest level in one of the most male-dominated and most dangerous professions.” — Douglas Whynott, The New York Times Book Review

Tentative discussion date: February 2, 2017, at 6:00 pm (NEW TIME to accommodate NOAA speaker at 7:00 pm).
