Editorial Reviews

New York Times Reviewer

"Scores of these salty wayfarers have written about their voyages, but of the many whose works I have read, Mr. Jones is the most articulate." (New York Times reviewer)

Recorded on location at the Lion's Head pub in New York City's Greenwich Village.

Product Description

Tristan Jones is the author of 18 books on his sailing adventures such as The Incredible Voyage, ICE!, Adrift, Saga of a Wayward Sailor, and To Venture Further. His books recount his incredible adventures such as sailing on the lowest and highest bodies of water in the world, sailing up the Amazon and being locked in the Arctic ice for over a year, as well as surviving tremendous personal hardships in order to continue his writing. Tristan's writing is unique, spellbinding and inspiring. He writes of more than adventure and accomplishment. He may write off an ocean crossing in a mere paragraph to concentrate on the richness of humanity, history and world cultures that he finds through his adventures.This rare encounter with Tristan succeeds in capturing the fascinating personality and soul of the man behind the pen. Every bit as exciting as his adventures, Tristan stands as one of the world's greatest old salts. An extraordinary exponent of living, with courage, on the edge. This riveting video is loaded with Tristan's adventures, humor, opinions and yarns. He talks of a dangerous encounter with a whale, smuggling, trimarans, sailing alone, other famous sailors and on being disabled.

Tristan Jones is the most amazing man in the world and to finally see him and hear him speak is something i never thought I'd ever be able to do after his death in 1995. I cant think of a better thing to watch or buy.
