The sequel to Incredible Voyage

Tristan's adventures continue on land. After struggling to get Sea Dart across South America--sometimes dragging the boat through the jungle--Tristan is in danger of losing her. He lives on the streets, takes odd jobs and sinks into despair. It all makes the triumph at the end of the book that much sweeter.

The Anne Frank of Shipwrecks

A really wonderful book. Not a simple task to write an entire book based on life in a rescue dinghi. Like Anne Frank's Diary, the book seems at times to drag on ad infinitum, but this was it's strength. You truely feel the anticipation of the character. I couldn't put the book down. I recommend it.
