Wayward Sailor : In Search of the Real Tristan Jones by Anthony Dalton (John_Vaughan)
John_Vaughan: Tristan was the wonderful rascally mix of author and story-teller. Sometimes the stories were a little tall. This is an affectionate account of his real life.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0924486791, Paperback)

The indefatigable viyager and storyteller Tristan Jones first gained widespread popularity with the publication of his bestselling Saga of a Wayward Sailor in 1979. It chronicles Jones' adventures from 1961 to 1968 aboard his beloved Cresswell, a wooden lifeboat converted to cruising sailboat. Jones survives storms, dismastings, arrest by the Soviet Navy, the smiggling of Edam cheeses and Barbary apes, and being sunk by whales.
