An ordinary employee from the American city of Baltimore has always dreamed of sea voyages. Having bought a small yacht with a friend and enlisted the support of a local museum, Gilbert Klingel organized a scientific expedition to explore the desert islands of the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Yucatan. But the friends never reached their destination. Their boat crashed on the reefs of the Bahamas. Once ashore, amateur naturalists decided not to cancel the expedition, but simply to change the object of study. Living in a dilapidated hut, they explore the island by smashing their feet on rocks, climb into caves with bats and swim around the reef in the company of sharks. Despite all the difficulties of the trip, Klingel returned to the island a few years later to continue his research. The diaries of the two expeditions formed the basis of this book. The book will be equally interesting for fans of extreme adventures and fans of books about the mysteries of nature.
