Description
Wander to "where the song of the ocean / Meets the salty piece of land" with Tully Mars, washed up from Margaritaville and in the mood for monkeyshines, in a shimmering Caribbean epic by the late king of tropical rock, Jimmy Buffett.
It's not on any chart, but the tropical island of Cayo Loco is the perfect place to run away from all your problems. Waking from a ganja buzz on the beach in Tulum, Tully can't believe his eyes when a 142-foot schooner emerges out of the ocean mist. At its helm is Cleopatra Highbourne, the eccentric 101-year-old sea captain who will take him to a lighthouse on a salty piece of land that will change his life forever.
From a lovely sunset sail in Punta Margarita to a wild spring-break foam party in San Pedro, Tully encounters an assortment of treasure hunters, rock stars, sailors, seaplane pilots, pirates, and even a ghost or two.

SUCH A GREAT BOOK!!
5By KlprofI asked my friend if she had any books that she could recommend. She said that I needed to read A Salty Piece of Land. So I picked it up and didn't put it down for 2 days. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a salty adventure!!!Great story
5By AnotherRat75Jimmy never fails. This story brought laughter from my gut and tears to my eyes. Well done as always. Fins Up!Pretty good, but can drag on at times
3By CboatenreiterThis was my first Jimmy Buffett book so I can't say how it compares to his other books. I downloaded it because I like the idea of Jimmy Buffett and escaping to his world. It was a pretty good book; I wouldn't expect it to win any awards. But if you are in the mood for some descent story telling about adventures in paradise, and don't get too concerned about plot development, then you should read /A Salty Piece of Land/ and let Jimmy Buffett's easy flowing writing take you away.Awesome
