Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Where generations of Western navies have failed, a small fishing boat succeeds. Legendary sailor Tristan Jones takes on the equally legendary Kra Peninsula in To Venture Further. Jones forges the peninsula, which divides the Andaman Sea from the Gulf of Thailand, with a crew consisting of a German friend and three disabled teenage Thai boys. The underequipped, underfunded adventure kicks off with his nearsighted first mate losing his glasses, and flies into plenty of trouble from there. Jones makes plenty of keen, salty observations about Thailand's history and culture, admiring and bemoaning elements of both." "This book shows why this man is revered as one of the finest storytellers in the sailing world." "Jones exhibits the awesome stubborness and courage of a man willing to sacrifice all comforts for the unknown and seemingly impossible."

Reseña del editor:

In this memorable exploit from a master storyteller, legendary sailor Tristan Jones makes an exceedingly difficult passage through the infamous Kra Penninsula in a small fishing boat.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
