Description

In October 1983, Jones and his only crew member, Wally Rediske, set out from San Diego in a 36-foot trimaran, intending to circumnavigate the world from west to east by sail

This is story of Tristan's preparation for this major seagoing event and the chronicle of half of it. (continued in "Improbable Voyage"). Tristan sailed down the west coast of Central America through the Panama Canal to Colombia, where he had to fight for survival among hostile natives, drug dealers and uncoooperative port officers

He went on to Venezuela, Aruba and the Dominican Republic during its 1984 revolution

Finally he reached New York and crossed the Atlantic to return to Saint Katherine's Dock in London where he began his seagoing life, thirty years before
