SHORE LOSER
When JAKE MORTENSEN and his “always ready to party” crew are sent to Mexico to retrieve a stolen 50-foot ketch called SHORE LOSER, his first venture as a repo-yacht captain places his three friends in danger and almost gets him killed in the process. He doesn’t know it, but concealed on board SHORE LOSER is a package so valuable some San Diego businessmen would resort to murder to recover it and others would be shocked if they knew what it contained. While trying to protect the boat and his crew, Jake discovers the hidden goods, exposes an investment scam that rocks the San Diego yachting community, helps catch the bad guys, and learns the real reason why the Russians were unable to participate in the ’95 America’s Cup.

REVIEWS
“High seas high jinks that will keep you turning pages to see how Danielson's going to get this wild bunch of true-to-life sailors out of their next close call. Great fun!!”
--Pat Henry, author of BY THE GRACE OF THE SEA: A WOMAN'S SOLO ODYSSEY AROUND THE WORLD
“Fast moving. Pure entertainment. Forget looking for a white hat. In this shoot em’ up, the good guys wear authentic deck shoes.
-- Kitty James, boating journalist, past editor of SANTANA MAGAZINE
"Most fun you can have without getting your feet wet."
-- R.D. Lyons, author of MEXICO’S HIDDEN GOLD and RIDING GUTS ‘N’ GLORY
“Capt. Doug Danielson’s sea-going adventures mirror the real world cruising lifestyle, not the Hollow-wood version. His characters have stepped right out of all the salty waterfront bars and sun-bleached marinas you’ve ever dreamed of. Best of all, Danielson uses correct nautical lingo with the everyday grace of a veteran sailor—because he is one.”
-- Capt. John E. Rains and Capt. Pat Miller Rains, authors of CRUISING PORTS, MEX WX, and BOATING GUIDE TO MEXICO

During 2007 Doug was a consultant involved in finding and bringing four IACC America's Cup boats to Mexico for Vallarta Adventures and Cabo Adventures. One of these boats, AUS 31, coincidentally plays a bit-part in SHORE LOSER. Doug had no connection with this Vallarta Adventure project when he conceived the idea of writing SHORE LOSER several years ago. Funny how the world turns.
Check out Doug's September 2007 newsletter, where he explains how this whole thing came about. |
