A pirate looks at fifty

Jimmy takes us from the legendary pirate coves of the Florida Keys to the ruins of ancient Cartagena. 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.
