PORTLAND – Linda Greenlaw piloted her boat into Portland Harbor on Wednesday, capping a three-month swordfish season marked by an unusual partnership that put her branded catch on ice in one of Maine's largest supermarket chains.
A welcome home celebration, open to the public, will be held for Greenlaw and the crew of the Hannah Boden from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday at Custom House Wharf.
Greenlaw, the boat's captain and a best-selling author, said the season was successful overall, but the final trip was relatively slow.
"This time of year they migrate," Greenlaw said. "The fish decided to take off."
Greenlaw estimated that the crew landed 10,000 pounds of swordfish this trip. An excellent trip will net 35,000 pounds.
