Be careful what you wish for. A lifestyle change from the High Sierra mountains of California to a tropical paradise in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean turns into a fight for survival when category 5 Hurricane Irma levels the island of St Maarten. Into the Eye is a first-hand account of an expat living and working on a tropical island. Tasked with building a new adventure park complete with ski lifts, facilities, and the world's steepest zip line while contending with extreme weather elements, inhospitable jungles, and a local workforce that had never seen such complex machines. Filled with humorous island anecdotes depicting the culture, politics, racism, and toils of working on a Caribbean island and surviving one of the world’s strongest hurricanes, Into the Eye shows life in paradise is no vacation
