A satisfying large dose of Eddie's down-to-earth
humor... along with a goodly supply of advice
(some of it actually useful!)..." -
From The Foreword by Ted Brewer
"De new book shell reach mon dat be
some fine scerfin get to all dem spitual pigmies
what don't know." - Capt. Frank
Papy
(Frank talks funny but we think he liked the
book.)
"Eddie is a very undervalued writer,
observer, and sailor. Translation: the book
is good." - Dave Martin, Cruising
World's 1995 Seamanship Medal Winner
"Eddie's book is very good. Many good
points and good advice, but the humor is what
keeps me tuned in. After owning six sailboats
you would think his experience would at least
qualify him for the rank of Commodore. The story
about Dinty Moore and poaching the crabs with
the ten bucks in the aspirin bottle was too
much." - Ricky on Chuckatuck Creek
"Thank you for the copy of your new
book! Great jobit looks great! I LOVE
the cover. Hey, just think what could have happened
if YOUD been on the ark!" - Vonda
Skelton
"Looking for some good laughs and reflections
on life? Look no further....the answers are
found in Hard Aground...Again by Eddie Jones,
a gifted writer and very talented story teller.
He has a way of making you think about your
life and your dreams, and how you can find them
and make them come true! Don't waste another
minute, pick up a copy of this soon to be best-seller
and you won't be disappointed." - John
Riddle, reviewer for Publishers Weekly and founder
of I Love To Write Day

Hard Aground with Eddie Jones-
is a collection of cruising and boating
essays offering a "stuck up"
look at the underside of cruising and
the frustrations we "land-cuffed"
sailors experience when our plans for
coastal exploration and tropical destinations
run aground on the shoals of family, finances
and failing health.

Hard to put down! Don't start reading
Hard Aground at bedtime. I couldn't put this book
down, and was up half the night reading and laughing"

Squadrons (read the complete
review)

just read (and enjoyed) your book. Then I passed it
on to Ted and Betty Brewer. They have BOTH read (and
enjoyed) it. Ted was quoting from it before the weekend
was over."
- Karen Larson, Good Old Boat Magazine (read

"If
there is a better nautical writer when it comes to
relationships and family interactions on the water,
we don't know who it is."
-
Claiborne Young, Cruising Guide to North Carolina
"Eddie
has an excellent ear for words and can be considered
one of North Carolina's nautical and natural treasures."
-
Dave Martin, contributing writer for Cruising World

for your latest Hard Aground column, Eddie. Mel was
wondering why I was laughing so early in the morning."
