A panoramic view of Port Said emerges from the blending of a childhood memoir of the 1930s with an appreciation of this well-known but ill-understood global city at the north head of the Suez Canal. The author revisits her birthplace and reflects on the changes she observes, and on a rich past of which most people are unaware.

Book Description:
In 1983 Tristan Jones, well known as one of the finest sailing adventure writers of our time, had his left leg amputated. Refusing to become landbound after a lifetime at sea, he acquired a specially designed, virtually untippable 38-foot trimaran and began to sail around the world. In Somewheres East of Suez, the third installment in the saga of that incredible journey, Tristan sails eight thousand miles from Istanbul to Thailand.

From the tourist- and terrorist-dominated ports of the eastern Mediterranean to African outposts peopled with famine refugees, Tristan maintains the unique perspective of a man who has had minimal contact with society's restraints, using his acerbic wit to spare no fools and offer biting social commentary. After barely escaping with his life in South Yemen, he sets off for the Far East, determined to win out against the difficulties of his disability, whether caught in a tropical cyclone or savoring his dwindling ration of fresh water in the vast windless expanse of the Indian Ocean.
