 Contributors To This Site

 

One of the great things about creating this web site is the people I get to meet and correspond with.  Many of these amazing folks have graciously taken the time to contribute their experiences.  I know you will appreciate their incite into Tristan Jones - the man and his writings.  Click on a name below and enjoy!


Harold Stephens
He has been a stand-in for Marlon Brando in Mutiny on the Bounty. He's climbed the Matterhorn and he even briefly joined forces with one of Sir Edmund Hillary's climbing teams. He was imprisoned by the Chinese Communists and escaped by swimming to a passing junk. He's driven a motorcycle across Australia, a jeep across Russia and hitchhiked and then driven a land cruiser around the world. He's sailed the major seas of the world and still found time to write over 20 books!
Read more on Scott Murray's site or visit Harold's site.

Brian Mooney
Brian Mooney is a prize-winning international journalist and author. As a youthful Reuters correspondent in Buenos Aires, he covered Tristan's journey across South America on Sea Dart and got to know Tristan well. Brian has sailed on the major oceans and climbed in the world's highest ranges. His latest book is about a gentle stroll around the English County of Essex - brian.mooney@btinternet.com

Ron Reil

Earth Science Teacher, Geologist, & Blacksmith. Ron Reil has a unique perspective on both Tristan Jones and Sea Dart as he was the prior owner of Sea Dart before he swapped boats with Tristan.  He has personally seen both the dark side of Tristan's personality and  his ability to spin a yarn over a bottle of rum.

Tor Pinney
American cruising sailor, writer, sometimes singer-songwriter and
inveterate traveler with nearly 150,000 nautical miles logged under sail.
Tor's sea stories and boating articles appear often in magazines around the world, and his new outfitting book, "Ready for Sea!" (Sheridan House), is now available. Tor presently owns Anchor Yacht Sales, dealer
for Valiant Yachts and Cape Island Trawlers, and Internet brokerage for
cruising sailboats and trawlers worldwide.
