Tourists visit popular islands of the Caribbean by the planeload. What they don't see from their resort hotels are the hundreds of out-of-the-way, uninhabited islands sprinkled along the West Indies from Florida to South America. This alluring archipelago, strung with beaches accessible only by boat but spaced temptingly close together, led Mississippi adventurer Scott B. Williams to embark upon an open-ended quest to see how far south he could go in a seventeen-foot sea kayak. No one was willing to accompany him. He spent months working his way down the west coast of Florida, through the Bahamas, and on to Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. On Island Time: Kayaking the Caribbean, his narrative of this journey of a lifetime, describes the wonders of discovery as he makes landfall on pristine cays. Relentless headwinds, dangerous surf, countless beaches declared off-limits to trespassing, and aggressive sharks that ram his kayak and snap him out of his musing remind the adventurer that this paradise is far from perfect. Every day of the journey required constant vigilance. With no one to depend on and often no one even knowing where he was for weeks at a time, Williams learned what it means to be self-reliant and to adjust to "island time." With just a simple craft and the few belongings that would fit in it, Williams explores an almost boundless frontier and a powerful natural stretch of the Caribbean rarely, if ever, accessed by the island tourist.

Depending on whether you deem yourself a seafaring adventurer and driven by the endorphin rush or an armchair adventure type Scott B. Williams, "On Island Time: Kayaking the Caribbean" should be on your reading list. Our 25 year old author seeking repreve from the 9-5 job and all its strangleholds describes his solo sea journey in a 17 foot fiberglass boat beginning in his home state of Mississippi traveling through the different islands and cays of the Caribbean. Is this the typical travel narrative that generally leaves the reader unimpressed- absolutely not? With a strong sense of adventure and risk-taking the author describes in detail his struggle against a relentless sea. His sharing the hard reality of open water crossings complete with challenging a rogue wave barely escaping death cresting the killer wave that drops him into a trough 15 feet below. The vivid memory of facing howling winds, landing ashore riding powerful breakers and caught in a surf zone with pounding 15 foot waves are shared. The landing on desolate cays alive with cacti, jungle landscapes and exploring an island later discovered was laden with unexploded land mines since it was previously a military training ground. One particular experience that rises the anxiety level occurs when he sets the paddle aside and ponders "should he place faith in his intuition or totally rely on the map" in deciding which course to reach land or see himself stranded on the open expanses of a deadly sea. What comes across in his writing is the sense of being alive and appreciating life when experiencing both uncertainty and fear which many who partake in such endeavors can easily relate. You will be introduced to Scully, a Rastafarian from Dominica donning only cut-offs and enjoying ganja, whose character drifts into the author's 2012 best-seller, "The Pulse: A Novel of the Collapse of the Grid" - another must read. The young author's experiences behind the paddle is rivaled when he sets afoot 2 different yachts crewing through an angry and vengeful sea. The one misgiving I have is the lack of a map detailing his journey. The book is well written and shows humility of an adventure few have known.
