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

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
