"To open a book by Tristan Jones is to enter a world of deep and unalloyed satisfaction. Breathtaking descriptions of the sea, whether mountainous waves or calm tropical anchorages, an encyclopaedic knowledge gained from a career which began at age 14 aboard sailing barges, friendships with other true seafarers like Moitessier and Tilman, indomitable courage - it's all here....For people who have never read Tristan Jones (who died in Thailand in 1995) this book is an excellent and gripping introduction. For cruising folk it is an essential bedside/bunkside book." Yachting World
"No one alive writes as well as Jones did about sailing....It's his last book - read it." Yachts and Yachting
the greatest writer of sailing!
