My father gave me a copy of ”Soul of a Pirate”, said it was a must-read. I read the book twice, then ordered five copies for friends. I was truly excited about this book. The author has lived a life on the edge, sometimes going over the edge, getting by on common sense, street-savvy, and wits. Growing up in the south during the times of integration, becoming a longhaired hippie at fifteen, traveling the country, and winding up in San Francisco for the ”Summer of Love” in 1967. Spending years on drugs, drinking, and addiction before getting clean and moving to the Florida Keys. The author learned to dive, spearfish, work on boats, sail, and navigate the ocean. Glynn Jones goes into great detail about eight marijuana drug smuggling sailboat trips. Breakdowns, bad weather, Coast Guard boarding, so much adventure. It’s all in this book and I highly recommend Soul of a Pirate. — Sherri Gillem, from Greenville S.C
