Gardner McKay in the lyrics refers to the actor by that name who played in a late 50s TV series Adventures in Paradise. McKay's character in the show was a Korean War veteran who bought a large schooner and sailed it between small islands delivering freight. Each week featured new events with new heroines who fell in love with "Adam Troy" the skipper of the Tiki. The show must have influenced Jimmy Buffett in sailing and island lifestyle as much as it did me when I was only 11.
I love jimmy.He is cool as hell! I have 2 Pirate Parrot tattoos on my leg.One of em says Parrothead 4 Life. I love this man.Was raised on his music! Jimmy u so rock!
