A physician's authentication of this man and his book. October 24, 1999
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
During a visit to the Bahamas in 1972 I read this superb and incredible biography. When I finished it I flew over and met Evans Cottmann while he was seeing patients in his little office. I visited his fairy tale green castle, saw his ketch and authenticated for myself this unbelievable and beautiful story. This book proves what man can do who is endowed with limited means, unlimited imagination and a desire to give and share his life.
Hopefully, a preview of the life my fiance and I will have! October 1, 1999

This book embodies the desire within us to experience a life that few will ever know. I look forward to the day my fiance and I do the same.
An excellent portrayal of life in the Bahamian "Out Islands" July 29, 1998

This is a must for anyone visiting the Abaco's. It provides an interesting insight into the real life of Bahamians. The jargon learned in this book will separate you from the typical tourist. You will be pleasantly surprised the next time your "boat done reached."

I loved this book! I've read it over and over. Its a simple story of a person who wanted a different life and made it for himself. Especially good for people who like the islands,sailing, or medicine practice

I borrowed this book from a friend in New Orleans. I was a little dubious about it from the '60's cover art. The very first chapter cast a net over me! I stayed up for hours to finish the story and have read and re-read the book. I have to return the book so I'm going to buy the newest print. "De Doctah" did something so many people haven't the courage to do by "going island" and then putting it in print. If you are an armchair adventurer, this book may make you get up out of the chair! This book is a WOW! I'll even say it backwards "WOW"!
