Sailing Among the Stars: The Story of Tristan Jones' Sea Dart

"That" was the tiny Sea Dart, finally reunited with Jones after months at dockside in England, still bruised and bedraggled from their legendary travels across South America. Readers have long enjoyed the astounding stories of these excursions as told by Jones in 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 played many roles ashore as well, from her engagement as the set of a children's television show to her position as guest of honor at an Explorer's Club dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Today, as Sea Dart works with the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation inspiring children to pursue their own seagoing adventures, Sailing Among the Stars, shares her incredible story with the world.
