Now available.....a book about the Bonnie Belle Riverboat and her Captain, a man with impossible dreams, and the passion and desire
to bring most of them into reality.


The Bonnie Belle was in operation in Southern Indiana  for 19 years, providing  charter cruises, public dinner cruises and sightseeing cruises. The stories told by the Captain's wife, Bonnie, relate to many aspects of those years, both in the planning and development of the business and the final years of their association with their beloved boat. 

As the business grew, the Captain's "need" for more also grew, so the book includes episodes of personal adventures, describing his constant need for excitement or travel. Ultimately, they had to deal with a major political challenge, one which added to the list of life-changing events.

 
A journey into the dreams and schemes of an unstoppable river captain who "wanted it all".

Color photos throughout!

  Don't forget gift ideas for those friends or relatives who spent time at the old Bonnie's Landing spot at the foot of Spring Street in Jeff, or who took a cruise on the beautiful Bonnie Belle riverboat.
