| Description: |
This is the chronicle of Tristan Jones' adventures around the North Atlantic from 1961 to 1968 aboard his beloved Cresswell, a wooden lifeboat converted to cruising sailboat. |
| Synopsis: |
Saga of a Wayward Sailor is the engaging tale of Tristan Jones' sailing adventures around the North Atlantic aboard the Cresswell. Jones survives storms, dismastings, arrest by the Soviet Navy, being sunk by whales, and the smuggling of Edam cheese and Barbary apes. Through his eyes we get to meet an intriguing cast of dockside characters: Karl, the German fish-canning salesman; Pete, the Australian smuggler; Sissie, the Englishwoman who wheedles her way permanently aboard; and Nelson, Jones' three-legged dog. |
