Back in the late 1950's-early 1960's there was a TV show called "Adventures in Paradise" about a guy who owned a schooner called "Tiki III". Gardner Mackay was the star of the show, he played Capt. Adam Troy.

He wrote a really creepy thriller novel called Toyer.
Any chance anybody else has read it besides me?

I wish I could have seen that show.
I've been thinking about buying a few episodes to see what it's all about.
You can find them at www.bygonevideo.com

Hey Son of a Beach, the Speedo Man is wondering what is up with your avatar?Do you not like Disney? Old Bobby Boy here is a Disney freakazoid, Walt Disney World is most likely the Prince Of Bluberness favorite vacation place anywhere. Walt Disney World would be perfect if they only had an all nude Disney Resort, if they had that type of resort old Bobby Boy would not vacation anywhere else. JSBHO

Cute website by a Frenchman who enjoyed an American tv show. Very well researched!
P.S. I learned a lot. All I knew was that he was an author. Pats on the back to Bananawind for sticking your neck out and asking a question that risked ridicule.
