..a burning natural talent....his writings are a pleasure for any lover of good writing as well as a brilliant collection of yarns about his life, his sailing adventures, and his thoughts about man and the sea. * Lloyd's List *
The characters and capers, including a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery, pour deliciously from the pen of this legendary adventurer. * Cruising World *
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.
