Crew's Ship Affairs is the third book in the stand-alone Blue-Collar
Romance novels series, written by Bob Ojala.
The previous two books, A Tugboater's Life and The Tugboater Family
revolved around the drama and romances of the Great Lakes sailors
working in the tough and dangerous Marine Construction business..
This third novel continues with many of the same endearing characters,
with a new character, Bob Evers, continuing to tell the tugboater crews
about his unusual experiences while working aboard numerous passenger
cruise ships. Most cruise ship passengers are not privy to what happens
beneath the passenger decks, but Bob Evers experienced and understands
the relationships that can occur, both good and bad, when 600-1000 men
and women live together for four to eight months at a time..
The Crew's Ship Affairs reader will be shocked and fascinated, even at
times envious, of how these various cultures learn to treat one another
with respect. Romance takes on many different meanings under such
circumstances..
Mr. Ojala is a Naval Architect and Marine Surveyor, very familiar with
the Great Lakes. He has traveled the world to inspect ships, including
over 165 Passenger Ship Cruises as an environmental auditor..
Most of the characters and experiences in the Blue-Collar Romances
series come from Mr. Ojala's personal observations, changing the names
where needed. His respect for the sailors and their families is obvious
in these stories..
Maritime industry readers will love the true-life drama, and readers
appreciating good romance will love the character's personal
interactions.
