Beschreibung

Tristan Jones sailed a small craft on the lowest body of water in the world, the Dead Sea in Israel—and the highest, Lake Titicaca in the Andes. During this intrepid six-year voyage, he traveled a distance equal to twice the circumference of the world. This gripping sea yarn is at once a riveting adventure story and a testament to human tenacity.

Über den Autor

Tristan Jones was one of the most prolific and best-loved authors of sailing stories. A Welshman, he left school at age 14 to work on sailing barges and spent the rest of his life at sea--in the Royal Navy, as a delivery skipper, and as a daring adventurer in search of new seagoing challenges. Jones wrote 16 books, including Encounters of a Wayward Sailor published by Sheridan House.
