Tim McBride Books

This author recounts his experiences from 1979 to 1989, navigating the southern waters and Caribbean with a crew locals knew as the "Saltwater Cowboys." Under the cloak of night, he was involved in offloading up to 20 tons of marijuana at a time from South America. His narrative details a life transformation that began with a casual marijuana experiment during high school, ultimately leading him into the high-stakes world of smuggling. The author describes the routine of this illicit trade, the substantial earnings, and the sophisticated logistics that operated under the cover of darkness to bring the cargo ashore and inland.
