The Incredible Voyage by Tristan Jones
In a daring six-year voyage by sail, Tristan Jones traveled from the Dead Sea, the lowest body of water in the world, to the Andes Mountains and Lake Titicac, the highest -- an epic and singular journey of exploration and discovery.

Along the way he was thrown in jail, attacked by Arabs, rescued by Ethiopians, nearly killed by a rat, saved by a crocodile. He found a desolate island off Colombia, full of political prisoners. In Cartagena, it was drug dealers, in Zanzibar assassins...and thieves almost everywhere.

"Lusty, rough, full of comic interludes as well as harrowing ones...high tales...exotic scenes...historical insights...a unique chronicle." (The Wall Street Journal)
