About the Author:

Captain Doug Edmonds is a resident of Mobile, Alabama where he spends time with his family, friends, and many animals. Doug has been a Merchant Mariner for 15 years and a pilot/captain for 10 of those years. He spends a majority of his time piloting his towboat on the Intracoastal Waterway from Florida to Texas and on the Lower Mississippi River. The idea of Doug the Tug came from encouragement of his family to write down his stories and adventures he experienced on the water. After losing interest in writing daily in his journal, he began using the things he experienced in life and while working on the water to create his stories. Whenever you see a towboat, give them the universal "Toot" your horn signal. You never know, it may be Captain Doug blowing the horn.
