THE BOOKS

Perilous Waters by Ramon F. D'Elosua

 

After Disaster In The Gulf, Ramon F. D'Elosua has written another exciting adventure story about his intrepid captain, Terry Jackson, or T.J. and his loyal crew. There is love, adventure, and a few conflicts along the way that will keep you turning the pages. While helping out some friends, T.J. finds out about a shipment of very valuable war surplus aircraft parts that were lost in a storm in 1948 on Lake Superior.

Armed with only an old chart, a story from an old man, and an old boat, he feels that it is worth the risk to try to salvage the stuff. He purchases a 40 year old 98 foot military work vessel to use for the venture. T.J. counts on his friend Jack to renovate the fire damaged craft. Jack is up to the task, and soon has the refit complete. The crew has to contend with sudden storms, hidden ice, and a dangerous reef that has been claiming vessels ever since the first Indians in canoes got wrecked on it.

There are greedy interlopers who think the guys have found a stash of gold, and want a piece of it. The fun starts when they have to find the lost cargo out on the stormy lake, using home-made search gear, and then have to salvage it from the 400 foot deep frigid water. The crew soon finds out why the words in the song say, when the waves turn the minutes into hours, are so true. All the risks pay off in the end, and the crew is looking forward to their next adventure.

Disaster In The Gulf
This is NOT another boaring accounting of the BP oil spill ---
It is a fictional story about one man’s attempt to do something about an ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico that threatened the Gulf shore line along the southern states. The threat was to the tourist trade, the fishing industry, and the many species of wildlife that lived in and around the waters affected.

 

Terry Jackson has always worked and made a living on the water as a Captain and marine mechanic. He feels he wants to give something back for the life he has carved out for himself. He attempts to do something about the disaster with the help of his family and a lot of the new friends he meets. He has to fight the narrow-minded bureaucrats that get in the way, and then he has to convince others to help. In the end his program does make a difference.

 

While the story is based on a factual event, it is a fictional accounting what followed the failure a major off shore oil rig and the resulting oil spill, a story now familiar to many readers.
