#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This is the ultimate Jimmy Buffett philosophy on life and how to live it, “like sitting with Buffett at a beachside bar, listening to him spin tales” (Time). “Buffett took his family on a three-week trek around the Caribbean. . . . His colorful travelogue is interspersed with memoirs of his youth and music career—both of which revolve around his continuing search for the perfect fishing spot.”—USA Today For Parrotheads, armchair adventurers, and anyone who appreciates a good yarn and a hearty laugh, here is the ultimate backstage pass. You’ll read the kind of stories Jimmy usually reserves for his closest friends and you'll see a wonderful, wacky life through the eyes of the man who's lived it. Jimmy takes us from the legendary pirate coves of the Florida Keys to the ruins of ancient Cartegena. Along the way, we hear a tale or two of how he got his start in New Orleans, how he discovered his passion for flying planes, and how he almost died in a watery crash in Nantucket harbor. We follow Jimmy to jungle outposts in Costa Rica and on a meandering trip down the Amazon, through hair-raising negotiations with gun-toting customs officials and a three-year-old aspiring co-pilot. And he is the inimitable Jimmy Buffett through it all.

"Charlotte's Story is a spell-binding account of how a young couple manage to carve out a life for themselves on an isolated Florida Key in the mid-1930s. To survive without electricity, running water, or any other modern conveniences, they fall back on the ways of the pioneer Conch settlers. With her ever-resourceful husband Russ' guidance, city-bred Charlotte learns to cope with sandflies, mosquitoes, and scorpions; masters sculling a boat and extracting a conch from its shell; and discovers the "beach store" is a treasure trove of needed household items. Their island home is visited by an assortment of characters so strange no novelist could imagine them. Rum runners, drug smugglers, and "borrowers" threaten their lives and make off with their possessions. Border patrolmen and Conch spongers befriend them, naive campers and ne'er-do-well yacht ladies provide comic relief, and an old black man tells them his secret recipe for yarb medicine, a forerunner of Viagra. Residents of the Keys and visitors alike will be glued to this book as they follow Charlotte and Russ through one hair-raising adventure after another culminating with their struggles to survive the terrible Labor Day hurricane of 1935." -- John Viele, authior of The Florida Keys: A History of the Pioneers.
