From AudioFile:

Just one short step ahead of the law, cowboy and lost soul Tully Mars finds himself fishing for a living in the Caribbean. This wild, unbelievable but thoroughly enjoyable story follows the lyrics of Buffet's song of the same name, and the music appropriately marks the beginning and end of each CD. Narrator John David Souther transports the listener, beautifully portraying Tully's struggle to find himself and his way forward. And as one might expect from Jimmy Buffet, Tully gets where he's going through a lot of fishing, sailing, and partying. The story has the feel of a modern-day pirate adventure, with the gold being self-discovery and a place in the world. Souther, with his sensitive, laid-back voice, drops the listener into the somewhat predictable but entertaining action.
