I just noticed some new, cool, and some downright funny pix of Jimmy’s recent visit to the Jamaica Margaritaville:

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

“Margaritaville” singer Jimmy Buffet has been given land on a South Pacific island after discovering one of his sea-faring ancestors was one of the first Westerners to live there in the 19th century.
Buffett, himself a keen sailor, was given the land on Norfolk Island while he was tracing his family history.

The singer discovered that one ancestor, John Buffet, gave up his career as a whaler when he discovered Pitcairn Island and swam ashore to join many of the mutineers from the HMS Bounty.
