Hard Aground...Again: Inspiration for the Navigationally Challenged and Spiritually Stuck

Doing Stupid Stuff on Boats #2

by Eddie Jones, Neale Mel (Illustrator), Ted Brewer (Foreword)

Product Description Noah had a hundred years to plan his first cruise and he still ran aground at the end of the passage. The Apostle Paul dreamed of harbor-hopping the coast of Italy but wrecked on a reef and had to swim ashore. Even the great and powerful Moses got stuck in the weeds of the Nile. Running aground is nothing to be ashamed of, but staying stuck is. In Hard Aground . . . Again, columnist Eddie Jones turns his unique way of looking at the sailing lifestyle to a unique way of looking at life, family, and God. For anyone who feels their hopes have been sitting high and dry or their dreams are all washed up, these brief meditations will help turn the tide. About the Author Eddie Jones is the author of the popular boating column Hard Aground and has written for Living Aboard Magazine, TownDock and the Ocracoke Observer, Latitudes & Attitudes, Cruising Coast and Islands, Boating News, and other maritime publications, and was winner of the 2006 Delaware Christian Writers Conference comeptition.
