Synopsis
Linda Greenlaw and her old pal Alden hang out at the Dry Dock Bar trading fishing stories, and they are--inevitably--joined by other fishermen who have stories that sometimes verge on the dubious, or even the preposterous. Why are all fishermen liars? There's actually a very good reason, and Greenlaw makes that clear in this easygoing memoir. She also spins an entertaining web of tales, including plenty from her own experience. Greenlaw was the swordfish boat captain who played a prominent role in the harrowing true-life events described in Sebastian Junger's bestselling THE PERFECT STORM and has since published two fishing memoirs of her own.

Industry Reviews
"Greenlaw is a terrific spinner of sea stories--anyone's sea stories. In her recounting of them, the conversational style surges with confidence. Suspense is her friend, and she plays with pace like an old pro who's used to telling long jokes without ruining the punch lines."
