20.05.12 Fairfax wrote separate books about his ocean crossings that were both published in the 1970s.

"He was a man of unbelievable strength and courage and confidence in everything he did," Tiffany Fairfax said. "He thought nature was a worthy challenge and he loved nature."

Fairfax used two different custom-made boats on the ocean journeys, she said, and navigated by the stars. He survived by eating up to eight pounds of fish a day and used a system to convert ocean water into drinking water.

"On the Pacific a shark took a big chunk of his arm" when he was spearing fish, Tiffany Fairfax said. "There you are on the Pacific Ocean and there's no hospital, and you need to row. He was an amazing, amazing human being."

John Fairfax enjoyed many other adventures, including a trip to the Amazon jungle and a stint as a pirate. He spoke five languages, loved to cook and regularly played the card game baccarat at Las Vegas casinos, his wife said.

Ex-girlfriend Cook, 73, who lives near London, remained lifelong friends with John Fairfax. "He's always been a gambler," she told the New York Times after his death. "He was going to the casino every night when I met him it was craps in those days. And at the end of the day, adventures are a kind of gamble, aren't they?"
