I am re-reading all of his books and think he should write a book about the river from a "boatcop's" point of view.......
Stuart Woods
Tom Clancy
any others you all can think of?

That's where I was heading to, so I'll say "Tales from Margaritaville" some boat stories.

I have to go buy that for my 16yr old for her English Class this year, it's a good book. I was at a bookstore once and this weird guy came in and started yelling that they HAVE to take that book off the shelf because it uses the "N" word.

His cabin is right up the hill from my house. Its a historical monument on the way to Angels Camp, Ca.......home of the Calaveras Jumping Frog which he also wrote about.
See, Mullet Mountain is famous for more than just our moonshine. :rollside:

Blue Thunder by Thomas Burdick - about Don Aronow
Sea Race by John Crise - a huge book with a large collection of offshore racing history.
Legend of Mercury
Legend of Chris Craft
Iron Fist - The Lives of Carl Kiekhaefer (all 3 by Jeff Rodengen) Iron Fist alone is worth reading even if you're not a boater - the guy was a paranoid freak but an amazing industrialist.
Yes, I threw my t.v. out. :rollside:

These two are pretty redundant. Iron Fist being much better and detailed. Nice Pics in the Legend book though.
I'll try the Aronow book.
Clive Cussler is good, and an AZ resident.

Actually Deb, maybe you know this book...........started reading it about 10 years ago, maybe more and then lost the damn book half way into it and never finished reading it............
Can't remember who the author was or even the name but it was about 2 couples that sailed to an Island called Palyrma I believe. One of the couples supplies ran short, they robbed and killed the other couple with the nice boat and I dont know if they ever got away with it or not................supposed to be a true story...... anyone familiar with it?
