Soggy Dollar Daze: Our Decade of Adventure Managing a Bar in the Caribbean

Read all about a couple's leap to owning a bar in the Caribbean

For 10 years this Debby and Bruce moved to the British Virgin Islands to run the Soggy Dollar Bar and the Sandcastle Resort.

Debby, Bruce, and Trixie

Facing the empty-nest, mid-life crisis is a common experience for many couples. This couple, seeking a change from their high-tech suburban lifestyle, took a significant leap by purchasing a bar with cottages on a world-class beach in the Virgin Islands. Throughout their ten-year adventure, they discovered the challenges, exhaustion, and joys that came with their decision, along with the vibrant event activities and festivals that the area offered. Despite having no relevant experience or training, a casual glance at the Wall Street Journal's real estate ads sparked their journey.

Purchasing

Thanks for your interest in my memoir, Soggy Dollar Daze!

Here’s the current information about purchasing the paperback book or the ebook.

July 22, 2026

The paperback and the eBook are now in the pre-order period at Amazon. You can place an order now, but there will be no shipments until October 16, my 79th birthday. Here is the link to Amazon .

Over the next few months this fall, the book will be heading into traditional book retail channels - so ask your local bookstore for a copy! Don't be surprised if they do not. Retail outlets are swamped with self-published books and respond most to customer demand in their store.

However, if you cannot wait, the book is available now for purchase at another online site, click here
