The ultimate Jimmy Buffett philosophy on life and how to live it. A Pirate Looks at Fifty brings us along on the remarkable journey through the Southern Hemisphere to celebrate his landmark birthday. 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. 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. Paperback-approx 400 pages.
