This blog will cover not only the wide world of sports but the wide world of the outdoors as well...so I can get in a plug for a book that I think everyone with an interest in the water will enjoy.
The Lobster Chronicles: Life on a Very Small Island
Linda Greenlaw
2002
Anyone who's read The Perfect Storm may remember that Linda Greenlaw was in it - she was a swordfish captain at the time. She retired a few years later to become a lobsterman, and this is her story.
It's a bit fictionalized in places, which I don't really care for but at least she tells you this ("I have taken the liberty of composite characters in a few cases" "I have also played with thre chronology"), unlike some people who make up their biographies/memoirs out of whole cloth and pretend its the honest truth....
She's a good writer, she's got an interesting story to tell.
