From the author: This book was written from the author's ship's log and aircraft log. The story begins when a notorious thief is stealing lobsters from one of the two main character's, Raymond James, traps in North Key Largo. He's found in Angelfish Creek with a bullet in his heart, but the young boy with him is left unharmed. During this time, the other main character, Roland Cameron, is on the shoreline off West Palm Beach and catches a thief who is stealing his lobsters from the traps by using an aqualung while his partner operates the boat. The two thieves are never seen again. The two trappers team up, and with two big offshore lobster boats they load their traps and head into the Caribbean where the first half of the book takes place. They keep moving their lobster traps hoping to leave the pirates who steal their catch behind. Years later they are trapping on the Little Bahama Bank near Walker's Cay. Once again theives show up and the shooting begins again. In 1975 they are run out of the Bahamas by the goverment. The two trappers move to the west coast of Florida and begin trapping in Everglade's City. They soon learn that the small village is the drug smuggling capitol of the south. Both men are pilots and own two airplanes plus their lobster boats. With the bitterness of losing everything to thieves still fresh in their minds they are soon involved in the deadly world of smuggling. The book was written by me, Rick Magers

Blue Water Adventure - A True Story

Rick Magers

<p>Sean McKannah leaves 17th century Ireland aboard a sailing vessel after losing his family to an apartment fire. After traveling several years with his surrogate father-figure, Capt. Mullholland, he bids the sea farewell to try his hand at trapping in the mountains of Northern California above San Francisco with his newfound friend, Francisco. Although successful, the two young men are lured away by Francisco’s Uncle to Southern California, to search for wild mustangs to use for breeding wild strength into his soon-to-arrive, high blooded Spanish mares. Following a few years of horse ranching, that pits the two young men and their Mexican ranch hands against Apache Indians and murderous outlaws, Sean marries Francisco’s sister Isabella and together they create a successful sheep ranch in Northern California. Their six children, Patrick, Broderick, Simon, Ian, Jesse, and Aleena are the characters that drive the second half of this story. Patrick and Broderick attend the newly formed Harvard Law School…Simon becomes a man hunter and eventually a Texas Ranger…Ian, a professional gambler…Jesse, the driving character, shuns modern society to live with the Flathead Indians…and Aleena becomes a schoolteacher. The McKannah family alone could create enough adventure, but they are joined by many interesting characters that will keep the reader turning pages, and anticipating the sequel that will be available mid 2011.</p>
