Product Overview
by Frank Gilbertson Join our hero on a deserted beach deep in Mexico as he formulates a plan to reclaim his spent youth and search for a long-lost love. You will travel across oceans, continents, and time as he recounts the life that has brought him to this out-of-the-way place. With insight and humor, Wasted Youth explores the convoluted psychology of a modern-day midlife crisis that should never have happened. Ride big waves, sail bravely into the teeth of a hurricane only to get shipwrecked. Explore a deep-sea wreck inhabited by hammerhead sharks with black coral divers and sink the same boat twice. Let it all ride on a long shot. Play Friday afternoon golf with your buddies and learn what to say to a naked lady. Enjoy these and other misadventures as you try in vain to answer the age-old question What would Jimmy Buffett do?
