After the death of his wife Amy 15 years ago, Jay Trimble took a vacation to Isla Mujeres, Mexico.  Most unexpectedly, he bought a house.  It was a lot with a mere shell of a building - and a stunning view, but his construction background meant he saw potential. Over the years kept building.  When the view got blocked by the house built on the vacant lot between his property and the Caribbean - he hatched a plan.  His modern house design looked like a wharf, so of course he added a ship to the third floor.  It's will be christened "The Sparrow". The views from up there are incredible and the finished quality is already apparent.  Listen his story of loss, adventure, foreign investment and what life holds for him after turning 60 later this year.
