I had confidence that Jimmy would prevail. He wanted to own his personal brand, so he teamed up with longtime pal Donna Sunshine Smith to open the first Margaritaville T-shirt shop in Key West in 1985. All the time I was reading, his songs were playing through my head and I had a smile on my face, even when I was worried about them being stranded on the seas in a terrible storm. I loved it! It brought back many memories and gave me thoughts for the future. I have lived in Alabama, been to Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard, traveled to Cozumel, Isla Mujeres and Cancun, cruised the Carribbean and had a cocktail or two at Pusser’s in Tortola. So many of the destinations are familiar. You will smell the ocean and the swamp and feel the cool tropical breezes as we travel through the imagination of a third-generation sailor. You will meet the Swamp Creature, enjoy some football, play some golf and sail the seas. We will spend a lot of time In Heat Wave, Alabama, we will also travel from the west to the east coast, visit Wyoming with Tully Mars and cruise the Carribbean.
