More adventures and more encounters a la Tristan Jones, including the delivery of a yacht from Algiers to Marseilles with some unexpected machine-gun fire thrown in, and a stormy night mercy mission transporting a battered English lady and Senora Puig who gives birth at dawn.

Tristan Jones, a legendary sailor, is the author of 16 books, including Saga of a Wayward Sailor, The Incredible Voyage and Yarns. He left school at the age of 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 seagoing adventurer travelling the world in search of new and ever greater challenges.
If there ever was anything saltier than a salted herring, it must be Tristan Jones. (Classic Boat)
Wonderful anecdotes and hilarious sea shanties make this book a highly entertaining read. (Yachting Monthly)
His characters are unforgettable and the stories hilarious. It makes a good read. (Sailing)
His characters are unforgettable and the stories hilarious. It makes a good read. (Coastal Cruising)
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. Perhaps most of us indulge in that style of boating, so Mr. Jones' yarns will strike a sympathetic chord, for he catches the mood exactly. (Cruising)
