"A perfect for some relaxing reading"

After inheriting a small sum of money, the hero of this story decides to head for the tropics. Being a bit on the lazy side, he feels he can live off his inheritance for a few years without having to work. He buys a sailboat and heads out, but things don't go quite as he plans. He ends up in Toenail bay without a boat, but not without money -- but that doesn't last long. This is when he meets Ron Anejo, a man known "throughout the Caribbean islands for his wonderful intentions and his loose grip on reality." He ends up losing his job (yeah, he finally had to get one), and his place of residence. He helps Ron fix up an old boat for-- hopefully-- some cargo hauling or a charter which is when his real adventures begin. Some of which include sick passengers, smuggling, construction, and a pseudo trip up the Oricono River.

Told in the first person, THE LEGEND OF RON ANEJO is an easy going story. It was not one of those stories that I felt I couldn't put down, but it was just plain enjoyable to read. I didn't feel pressure to finish it, but I wanted to just to see what the hero (no name given) and Ron would get up to next. This story is a pleasurable visit to the Caribbean, where you will meet some interesting characters, perfect for some relaxing, lazy time reading.

Summary

The love of Ron's life is his boat, although she seems bent on killing him. He lives, works and plays in margins of conventional society. With a traditional adventurer's disregard for reality and ineptitude for commerce (either legal or illegal), Ron plies the Caribbean in his inimitable way, becoming a legend in his own time.
