Storms destroy things and leave their marks forever. Captain Steamer Causey — a charter boat captain on one of the finest boats in all the Bahamas — thought he had his life all arranged and had put his past far behind him. He did not look for, and did not see, the signs of the storms building all about him. The storms that would tear him from his complacency, hurl him back into his past, threaten to tear apart everything and everyone he loved, and possibly even end his very existence. A mariner, tugboat pilot, and former juvenile officer, Captain Buddy Ward (pen name for Leon B. Ward, III) is also the author of novels and short stories about the sea and life on the Charleston, South Carolina coast, as well as stories of horses and Christmas.

Blue Water

By: Captain Jack Standish

Blue Water tells the story of a young mans desire to serve his country, travel and find excitement beyond the confines of rural Lancaster County Pennsylvania. It describes his early military service in both Navy and Army Reserve programs. The author attained the rank of Staff Sergeant before being honorably discharged and entering naval service via Officer Candidate School. The book goes on to describe his twenty-one years as a naval officer, ending with a selection to Captain in the Supply Corps, US Navy just prior to his retirement. He served as a Surface Line Officer at the following duty stations: USS BRAINE, the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA), USS PERKINS and USS VAMMEN. While attending Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, Georgia, his designator was changed to Supply. He then served on USS STERETT, at the Ships Parts Control Center (SPCC), the Naval Supply Center, Subic Bay, Philippine Islands, the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), USS ACADIA, and the Naval Electronics Systems Command (NAVELEX). Subsequent to his retirement from the Navy in 1983, he worked for twenty-one years as a consultant for Navy and Coast Guard shipbuilding programs in Washington, DC and Northern Virginia. He consulted on such programs as the Navys TICONDEROGA Class Cruiser, the ARLEIGH BURKE Guided Missile Destroyer, the SEAWOLF Attack Submarine and various other shipbuilding programs. During his Shipbuilding career, the author began a lifelong leisure pursuit of deep-sea fishing. In addition to fishing in such locations as Venezuela, Cabo San Lucas, Costa Rica and the Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia, the author continued extensive worldwide travel and touring. He visited the Hawaiian Islands, many of the Caribbean islands, Japan, China, Thailand, Egypt and Alaska. His fishing adventures and travel continued through his final retirement in 2004. Blue Water was chosen for the title of this memoir, because it chronicles a significant period of time when he was assigned to sea duty on five different ships. The author participated in four deployments to the SEVENTH Fleet, which included service off the coast, and up the rivers of South Vietnam. The book also contains approximately fifty photos and an appendix citing his awards and decorations.

The Sky Is My Witness [Illustrated Edition]

By: Captain Thomas Moore Jr. USMCR

Includes the Second World War In The Pacific Illustration Pack – 152 maps, plans and photos. The vivid and colourful account of a Marine Divebomber’s personal experiences during the Pacific War, Captain Green fought at Midway, Guadalcanal and the New Hebrides. A heroic tale, humbly told from a Navy Cross winner no less. “In the main, this is the story of myself and others like me—all commissioned Marine pilots. But not all the people connected with flying planes are officers. Quite a number of our best pilots are enlisted men, and practically all those who make the pilot’s job at all possible —those who service the planes, patch them together again, see to it that everything still works and keeps working—these are enlisted men. Perhaps this isn’t orthodox, but it is my sincere belief that these constitute the substance to our shadow. Let’s put it this way—we officer pilots do a hell of a lot that people hear about— officer pilots being more or less the glamor boys—but the enlisted of aviation do one hell of a lot that very few people hear about. It is to these enlisted of aviation that I humbly dedicate this book.”-The Author.
