Tristan Jones's travels across South America in the tiny SEA DART became legendary with the publication of The Incredible Voyage and Adrift. But SEA DART has sailed other seas with other captains, and has her own extraordinary tales to tell.
Logging thousands of miles – at sea, in freshwater, and even over land – SEA DART has raced tides and dared river rapids, crossed a desert and a mountain range, and been pounded against rocks and sunk in harbor. She has been the set of a children's television show and a guest of honor at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
Today, SEA DART has been restored and works with the boating instruction program for the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. As SEA DART continues to inspire others to pursue their seagoing dreams, Sailing Among the Stars shares her fascinating story with the world.
“highly recommended reading for anyone who has ever sailed the seas in a small craft – or who has wanted to.” —Midwest Book Review
