WATCH DIAMONDS DANCE ON THE WATER!
Jan Boys, first mate of the trawler We Be Blest, has launched her latest account of nautical adventures:
REFLECTIONS ON THE WATER:
Traveling the Waterways with God
Through the pages of this book, travel on the
Mississippi and Tennessee Rivers, the Intracoastal Waterways and Canada's North Channel.
Listen as the waters beckon and softly whisper … Come follow me.
Watch diamonds dance on the water. Pass through towering
navigation locks. Spend a relaxing day while at anchor. Listen to the chorus of night sounds. Or if you
wish some excitement, ride out a storm or two.
Jan Boys, North Fort Myers resident and columnist
for the WAVES, the boating supplement in the Ft. Myers News-Press, combines visual
and written accounts to give authentic glimpses into the nautical life.
Fred Myers, author of various cruising guides,
explains “natural beauty takes on special meaning for everyone cruising on the water. With
unusual depth and understanding Jan Boys describes what she saw then relates that to the love and concern God has for
all of us. Jan does that so skillfully you believe you were there with her as
the scenes unfold.”
Co-authors of Honey, Let’s Get a Boat, Ron and Eva Stob comment, “Travel is more than a geography lesson or a cross-cultural
experience. It’s the handiwork of God that inspires and amazes us. This is a personal psalm of a boater and a believer who sees God’s hand
in every bend of the river.”
Jan and her husband Gene have logged more
than 20,000 miles of cruising on the inland waterways. For nearly four years, her monthly WAVES articles have chronicled
their Great Loop adventure, a circumnavigation of the eastern third of North America. Most recently, excerpts from their journeys
have appeared in Life On The Water Magazine.
This volume of reflections is a companion to
Jan’s first book, TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific
Northwest. That's a travelogue and spiritual treasure hunt based on their lengthy land travels.
