Encounters of a Wayward Sailor

By Tristan Jones

Book Overview

The great teller of sea stories-Tristan Jones-is back, with a new collection of yarns, reminiscences, and 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 Peron, and the damp forests of Southeast Asia.

A BOOK THAT WAS MY INSPIRATION

As were all of Tristan Jones' books, this book too was an inspiration that gave me the fortitude to continue building my own boat and then to sail the south Pacific and Asian waters. I paid tribute to Tristan by devoting a chapter to him in my book "At Home In Asia," and I wrote about him again in my last book "The Last Voyage: the Story of Schooner Third Sea." I was fortunate to have known Tristan and I think of him often. He was an incredible man. Tristan did add a comment to my last book when he heard of my own person loss before he died.
