Take a large pinch of salt with these imaginative anecdotes and enjoy the antics of a professional quaysider with the ability to combine the many facets of people he really meets to create outrageous fictional characters. This is not the world of white ducks and corporate hospitality, but rather the scene of sunlit jetties and make-do and mend.

Tristan Jones was one of the most prolific and best-loved authors of sailing stories in our time. 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. The author of 16 books, including Seagulls in My Soup and One Hand for Yourself and One for the Ship, Jones lived in Phuket, Thailand for ten years, until his death in June 1995.
