Roatan Odyssey           

Roatan Odyssey by Anne Jennings Brown.

Texan adventurer Howard Jennings plucks Anne from her quiet village life in England and convinces her not only to marry him but to uproot to the idyllic island of Roatan. Despite her better judgement, Anne packs her bags and meagre finances, and leaves her two children at boarding school. The newlyweds plan to build a house or two on Roatan to fund moving back to England, and a bigger house for them all.

But plans so neatly made in the UK begin to fall apart as soon as they land and it becomes clear that Anne's funds are tied up by Howard, whose intentions are not what they first seemed. Anne must learn self reliance and self belief in this foreign country where friends are plentiful but can disappear at any moment.

Living alone in secluded Port Royal, accessible only by sea, her most faithful companion is Moller, a resident ghost (or duppy as he is known to the locals). According to local folklore, duppies guard the sites of hidden treasure, although Moller's pearls of wisdom provide a more profound discovery for Anne.

Anne gives new meaning to the word perseverance and insight as to when to quit and move on. Her fortitude is amazing and she lived isolated in Port Royal without electricity or a phone. The photographs, drawings and maps are also impressive.

Read about Captain Kivett who regularly piloted his DC-3 by Fort Frederick to wave his wings at Anne and Bill Kepler who moved to Roatan to run a bonefishing operation at The Reef House after having his sportfishing business and boats cofiscated in Cuba and much more.

304 Pages with lots of illustrations and maps. 2007.
