If you’ve ever been to the Florida Keys, you know about the magical state of wonderment people slip into every time they go there. Author Tom Winton certainly does. He and his wife Blanche have been frequenting the sun-soaked string of islands for more than forty years. They’ve rubbed shoulders with many pirates, dreamers, schemers and friendly locals down there, and they've had their share of adventures and misadventures as well. Now Tom has written about their most memorable experiences—some of them downright dangerous life-and-death situations. As you read TRIPPING ON COCONUTS you'll feel like you're with the Wintons when they attempt to save a drowning man in treacherous, windblown seas. You'll envision every quirk at their funky 1974 Key West wedding, and find out what it’s like to have a shotgun pointed at your back while out in the ocean late at night. You’ll also learn what it feels like to be knocked off your feet by lightning, and much, much more. So, if you’re ready for some wild and zany exploits in the Florida Keys, slap on some suntan lotion, mix yourself a Margarita, and go TRIPPING ON COCONUTS.
