Following the success and acclaim of his first book, Jon is back with more true life adventures of a well-lived, vivid and sometimes precarious life.
"Jon's stories are wonderful. I would liken them to Jack Kerouac's, in that his stories make me want to seek adventure, damn the danger!" one reviewer wrote.
Venture with him (and his wife, too) as he runs from angry, wild monkeys on an island off Panama. Get locked up in jail in Iran! Experience the magic of carnival in Brazil and an encounter with Jimmy Buffett in the Caribbean. Defend yourself from a deranged crewman with a knife aboard a sailboat delivery hundreds of miles out in the ocean...
These real life adventures and more will keep you captivated and turning the pages...as thousands have done with his first book.
Cap'n Jon is an English sailor, adventurer, explorer and entrepreneur. He has owned many cruising sailboats ( 5 catamarans, 3 trimarans and 2 monohulls!)since the early 1970's and was a professional sailor for several years. He has about 40,000 ocean miles under his keel.
He also has a love of vintage cars and amongst many others he has owned Bugatti, Frazer-Nash, Morgan and Bentley marques.
He has started and owned businesses in England, the U.S.A., Mexico, Afghanistan and New Zealand.
He is married to Joell, a published artist and musician, who has been his traveling partner for fifteen years.
I read his first book, Everyone Said I Should Write a Book, and enjoyed it so much I bought his second, Everyone Said I Should Write Another Book. I wasn't disappointed, in fact I happily climbed aboard the JoJo and Ladyhawke to cruise the Caribbean with Jon and Joie, and Skipper (their dog), I trekked through India and Pakistan, and celebrated Carnival in Northwest Brazil. Jonathan White is a gifted storyteller and a renaissance man extraordinaire.
Jon is a good writer. The characters are interesting and his description of the scenery is inviting but not too flowery. Just wish maws aboard the JoJo to enjoy for myself.
