Unlikely People is a tribute to the unique men and women that give up the shore in favor of the seas. After thirty years aboard UNLIKELY VII, Reese Palley has met devils and saints, fools and philosophers; here their stories are told with humor and charm in Palley's inimitable style. Notable characters include sailing legend Tristan Jones, Colombian lunatics, and The Dumbest Sailor in the World. A must-read for all Reese Palley fans.
