He's had HIGH COTTON for several years. It's a *gorgeous* classic Buzzard's Bay 25, designed by Nathaniel Herreshoff and built in Maine by Joel White. It's the boat JB is sailing in "Tales from Margaritavision"...

In fact, it's for sale, if you have major coin....

Sam's Club had them on Tuesday, my library is still waiting for their copies. I still have yet to see a reader review at Amazon but the first one is up at BN.com (Barnes & Noble). 2 stars out of 5.

Another disappointment from marguaritaville...

At least spell it correctly!

I bet it was written by Jimmy Buffet...the Mayor of Marguaritaville

I was at Sam's, didn't think to look. How much?

(My Amazon order hasn't shipped yet)

Dezdmona · Post by **Dezdmona** » May 16, 2008 10:27 am

I paid $14.11 at Amazon (no tax or shipping charges added). I'm not worried about getting it immediately cuz I won't be able to start reading it till next week anyway. I have other things in my order that probably caused the shipping delay. It's really no big deal for me. BIBOMO.
