Reluctant to be tied down, Tully fails to arrive at the meeting place. Unable to stay in one place for long, Tully breaks up with Donna but leaves her a winning lottery ticket and a request to meet him at a specific time and date in Belize City.
Now a fugitive, Tully takes temporary refuge in Heat Wave, Alabama where he falls for Donna Key, a waitress at the Chat n' Chew restaurant. Understandably eager for revenge, Thelma sends bounty hunters Waldo Stilton and his brother Wilton Stilton to retrieve Tully. Publishers Weekly called A Salty Piece of Land "a groovily laid-back, ramblingly anecdotal, sun-soaked bit of Caribbean escapism that his Parrothead fans will relish like another chorus of 'Margaritaville.'" In the story Take Another Road, found in the Buffett's collection Tales of Margaritaville, Wyoming native Tully Mars angers his boss, Thelma, at the poodle ranch where he works by tossing a massage table through a window. American musician and author Jimmy Buffett’s novel A Salty Piece of Land (2004) chronicles the adventures of Tully Mars, a character first introduced in Buffett's 1989 short story collection Tales From Margaritaville.
