DOWNLOAD EBOOKCrew’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.
