The Incredible Voyage

A Personal Odyssey

Tristan Jones

Tristan Jones sailed a small craft on the lowest body of water in the world, the Dead Sea in Israel‹and the highest, Lake Titicaca in the Andes. During this intrepid six-year voyage, he traveled a distance equal to twice the circumference of the world and found himself "a thousand times beyond the limits of endurance." This gripping sea yarn is at once a riveting adventure story and a testament to human tenacity. In a salty, slashing style, he unfolds his extraordinary saga, revealing both a rich sense of history and an insuppressible Welsh wit.

With a singleness of purpose as ferocious as any hazard he encountered, Tristan Jones would not give up‹even after dodging snipers on the Red Sea, capsizing off the Cape of Good Hope, starving on the Amazon, struggling for 3,000 miles against the mightiest sea current in the world, and hauling his boat over the rugged Andes three miles above sea level to find at last the legendary Island of the Sun. And beyond lay the most awesome challenge of all -- the tortuous trek through 6,000 miles of uncharted rivers to find his way back to the ocean.
