Yarns collects some of Tristan Jones's finest stories. Within these pages, he explains how his writing career began and draws on his many adventures to depict a horde of unforgettable characters and evoke the world's most beautiful cruising grounds. One marvelous tale looks to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for inspiration as it recounts the mystery of the Mary Celeste, while “Breakdown,” the account of a troubled steamship, takes after Joseph Conrad. Others involve an unlikely salvage operation in Ibiza, a strange rendezvous on the African coast, and a chance encounter between Jones and one of America's greatest cruising sailors.
