If you've ever said, "Lord, Help! I'm stuck again!" then Hard Aground... Again is for you. With over 32 humorous essays, this book brings spiritual insight and humor into the trials and disappointments of boating, relationships and living in general. Hard Aground... Again is about getting your life unstuck and your dreams soaring again.

"A satisfying large dose of Eddie's down-to-earth humor... along with a goodly supply of advice (some of it actually useful!)..." - From The Foreword by Ted Brewer

Noah had a hundred years to plan his first cruise and he still ran aground at the end of the passage. The Apostle Paul dreamed of harbor-hopping the coast of Italy but wrecked on a reef and had to swim ashore. Even the great and powerful Moses got stuck in the weeds of the Nile. Running aground is nothing to be ashamed of, but staying stuck is.

In Hard Aground... Again columnist Eddie Jones turns his unique way of looking at the sailing lifestyle to a unique way of looking at life, family, and God. For anyone who feels their hopes have been sitting high and dry or their dreams are all washed up, these brief meditations will help turn the tide.

Eddie Jones is the author of the popular boating column Hard Aground and a two time winner of the Delaware Christian Writers Conference. He writes for Living Aboard Magazine, the Ocracoke Observer, Carolina Currents Magazine, Christian Devotions and the Waterway Guide.

[ From chapter 1: ]

"I was having the best summer of my life. Even better, I was having the best year of my life. I was on my way to Malawi, in southeastern Africa. On August 17, 2004, a sudden, catastrophic illness struck and changed the course of my life."

“I felt like you were sitting next to me, telling me your story.” NY

“A rush of feelings came over me as I read your moving story. I don’t think I could have done what you have accomplished with such grace and kindness.” NJ

“Thank you for your book. It was the first time I have picked up a book and had trouble deciding to put it down. So much emotion.” NJ

“That you and your family endured such fear, uncertainty, pain and grief but held on tightly to one another and your faith is an amazing story.” NJ

“I finished your book today and it brought tears to my eyes and a joy to my heart.” NJ

“Your book is, yes, a healing journey for you –a way of looking back, thinking things through, acknowledging the miracles emerged all along from the first wish to help in Malawi, to the knowledge of accomplishment today.” NY

“I believe that all who know you, and will know you through The Grateful Heart, will recognize the presence of grace in your life.” NY

Candace Moose is a 1973 graduate of Cornell University/New York Hospital School of Nursing. She retired from an almost 30 year career in nursing in 2000 when she and her husband moved to Long Island from California. Candace decided to pursue her lifelong dream of helping victims of HIV/AIDS in Africa in her retirement and after investigating several options, decided to travel to Malawi in August 2001 with Save The Children. The immunizations that she received six weeks before the date of travel to that part of the world triggered an often fatal disease called Giant Cell Myocarditis. She was admitted to several hospitals and was critically ill upon arrival at Columbia in September 2001, where she received a heart transplant four weeks later. The book is an expression of her gratefulness to the doctors, nurses, staff persons, family and friends who cared for her throughout her illness and recovery. As well, the book attempts to document the amazing set of miracles that led to her being alive today. The book includes chapters written by her husband, her children and her doctor, Dr. Mario Deng, Candace's post-transplant cardiologist.
