The great teller of sea stories-Tristan Jones-is back, with a new collection of yarns, reminiscences & adventures never before published in book form. Jones carries us to the sleepy Spanish ports of the 1950s, the pleasures of Buenos Aires in the last days of Per-n & the damp forests of Southeast Asia. We meet Bernard Moitessier, & pioneering woman sailor Clare Francis, as well as a panoply of memorable characters, among them the shadowy crewmember whom Jones unwittingly smuggles into Spain & the sailor saved by a disconnected floodlight.Jones, Tristan is the author of 'Encounters of a Wayward Sailor' with ISBN 9780924486807 and ISBN 0924486805.
