“WEST OF THE EQUATOR: In Search of Paradise” is a ‘Storm of the Century’ story, set in the 1980’s ‘Wild, Wild, West Indies.’ It’s an adventure of sailing off into the unknown and shedding society as we know it––to give it all up and live in Paradise. It regales tales of modern-day pirates, drug smugglers, and spiritual journeys within an every man’s/woman’s story––all the places and pirates Jimmy Buffett’s ever sung about in St. Barth, St. Maarten, & Antigua. A reminder that success is not measured by the position one has reached in life, but rather by the obstacles over come while trying to succeed and in learning that you are indeed the island you have yet to discover, your life is your vessel, and everything you will ever need has been on-board all along.
