From the Archives: Tristan Jones On Adventuring After the Loss of His Leg.
We remember adventurer and author Tristan Jones. Tristan Jones was almost certainly the most intrepid sailor alive. He journeyed more than 450-thousand miles in small boats. That includes 20 crossings of the Atlantic, and three and a half circumnavigations. After losing a leg to an old World War two injury, Jones continued to travel, and later worked with disabled kids throughout the world. At 71 he died of complications after a stroke on Wednesday, June 23, 1995. (REBROADCAST FROM 12/13/89) (Interview by Marty Moss-Coane)
