Linda Greenlaw, Isle au Haut's noted author and lobster fisherman Be sure to catch LINDA GREENLAW in her second season of Discovery's SWORDS: LIFE ON THE LINE, due to air April / May 2010. FROM THE FIRST MOMENT, YOU'LL BE HOOKED. For the fisherman of New England, braving the frigid, unpredictable waters of the North Atlantic is a tradition that has been in their families for generations. It is an unforgiving environment, where forty-five-foot vessels contend with fifty-foot waves and gale-force winds, where one fish can earn you $50,000, and one mistake can cost you your life. From the producers of The Deadliest Catch and Ice Road Truckers, Swords takes us out to sea in pursuit of massive blue-fin tuna and the elusive swordfish, with the fathers, sons, old salts and greenhorns for whom the ocean is more than just where they make a living: it's a way of life. Due to the upcoming release of "SEAWORTHY", a new read about her swordfishing adventures, Linda will be away on book tour most of the 2010 summer season and as a result, unavailable for any tours with the exception of the Gourmet Getaways in June.
