If you've visited Scituate Salt Cave, you may have noticed our subtle nods to the musician Jimmy Buffett—like One Particular Harbor noted beneath our “Heart of Scituate” photograph behind the front desk, or our logo’d t-shirts with “Salt! Salt! Salt!” on the back. What you may not know is the reason behind that. Yes, we are huge fans, but that's not the only reason. 🦜
Scituate Salt Cave founder, Cristina Curreri’s dad, Len Curreri, was Jimmy Buffett’s private pilot and flight instructor—and now, he’s sharing his story.
We’re thrilled to announce that Len has written a memoir: Hidden Runways: Untold Stories from the Cockpit and Beyond. This fascinating book is now available for presale (link in bio), and we couldn't be prouder!
In Hidden Runways, Len chronicles over 60 years in the skies—from serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War to flying legends like Jimmy Buffett and the Grateful Dead, as well as top business leaders around the globe. Through gripping stories and heartfelt reflections, he invites readers into the exhilarating and deeply personal world of private aviation.
Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, a lover of memoirs, or just curious about the life of someone who's lived it full throttle, this book is for you.
