Deep Water Blues by Fred Waitzkin

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book.   It is a character study of both the author and the main protagonist, Bobby.   The author is a fan of the Bahamas and sailing or perhaps fishing more than sailing.   Bobby’s story is fictional but Rum Cay, the story’s location, has had a tumultuous history.

Larger than life Bobby turned his island port into a destination by sheer personality.   That led to some problems particularly when Dennis, a questionable character, arrived.

This really is a good character study.   There is also some karma involved.

I enjoyed the book.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
