Triton Nautical News / Book Review
Jeff Ford and Billy Forbes are yacht captains. They run boats for wealthy owners, navigate between North and South America, and weather storms of every type. Dark-haired and skilled at math, they have a lot in common.But Ford will not admit to drug smuggling, eluding a Honduran cartel or murder. That guy is Billy Forbes, the fictional hero in Ford’s first novel, “Loco: A story of love, loss and moral decay”.Ford recently completed a U.S. east coast promotional book tour by way of a yacht job. He delivered a vintage 53-foot Hatteras from Port Canaveral, Fla., to Boston. From an outdoor table at Southport Raw Bar in Ft. Lauderdale, a spot frequented by both captains, Ford talked about how his job became part of his first novel.A long time fan of fiction with historical, technical and scientific accuracy, Ford thought he could do the same with his boating knowledge.
