Description

Once the most-wanted pot smuggler on the West Coast, Robert Brewer — pilot, yachtie, racecar driver — has fashioned a life of pure adventure. This is his story, in his own words, a remarkable tale of moonlit flights over the Mexican desert, of trimarans filled with kilos of pot, of betrayal and deception; a story set in the lee of the Channel Islands, on a beach in Costa Rica, in a prison cell in San Salvador. There are Panamanian drug traffickers, bumbling DEA agents, gun-wielding Sandinistas, and an Egyptian girl with an ounce of pot in her panties. For thirty years, from the first Cessna load to the last wiretap, the government tried to bust him.

Meet Bob Brewer, the one they couldn't catch...
