Sail Magazine’s August 2001 issue has an article about sailing the Florida panhandle. The article mentions Buffett several times: “This is the Old South, graceful and unhurried, enlivened by a Jimmy Buffett soundtrack and mellowed by the lack of pretension. Boiled peanuts, key lime pie, barbequed chicken, cold beer, and tie-dyed sunsets are part of every day life…along the sugar-white sand beaches.” In another section: “…a vital provision must be brought aboard before our departure. Smiling he hands us a Jimmy Buffett CD. ‘You can’t go sailing around here without this’, he says; and it turns out he’s right; every time we get near a port, strains of ‘Margaritaville’ and ‘Changes in Latitude’ waft across the water.” I lived in Panama City for 8 years and imagine I’ll return there. The sailing is great and it’s never hard to run into a chum with a bittle of rum and kick back and enjoy pickin’ a little Buffett tunes!— Ray B., Atlanta,GA
