With the heart of a novelist and the salty blood of a sailor, Dallas Murphy gives a rousing account of one of the most treacherous and storied spots on earth. For as far back as he can remember, Dallas Murphy has been sea-struck. Since he began to read, "besotted by salt-water dreams and nautical language," he studied the lore surrounding a place of mythic proportions: the ever-alluring Cape Horn. And after years of dreaming--and sailing--he finally made his voyage there. In this lively, thrilli... With the heart of a novelist and the salty blood of a sailor, Dallas Murphy gives a rousing account of one of the most treacherous and storied spots on earth. For as far back as he can remember, Dallas Murphy has been sea-struck. Since he began to read, "besotted by salt-water dreams and nautical language," he studied the lore surrounding a place of mythic proportions: the ever-alluring Cape Horn. And after years of dreaming--and sailing--he finally made his voyage there. In this lively, thrilling blend of history, geography, and modern-day adventure, Murphy shows how the myth crossed wakes with his reality.Cape Horn is a buttressed pyramid of crumbly rock situated at the very bottom of South America--55 degrees 59 minutes South by 67 degrees 16 minutes West. It's a place of forlorn and foreboding beauty, one that has captured the dark imaginations of explorers and writers from Francis Drake to Joseph Conrad. For centuries, the small stretch of water between Cape Horn and the Antarctic peninsula was the only gateway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and it's a place where the storms are bigger, the winds stronger, the seas rougher than anywhere else on earth.

Bibliography. Index. Dallas Murphy is an acclaimed author, playwright and marine journalist. He grew up in South Florida and currently resides in New York City. From an on-line posting: "Dallas Murphy grew up in South Florida, where, diving, fishing, and sailing, he fell in love with the ocean and particularly the Gulf Stream. He is the author of two professionally produced plays, The Terrorists and The Explorers, and eight books, a mix of fiction and nonfiction. His three-book series, Lover Man, (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year), Lush Life, and Don t Explain were about a reluctant sleuth who lives off his dog, star of screen, TV, and dog food boxes. Apparent Wind was about a real estate swindle and ecological destruction in the Florida Keys. Most recently, he published Rounding the Horn, a nonfiction account of Cape Horn, including exploration, human and natural history structured around his own sailing trip down by the Horn. In 2007, he published To Follow the Water, about the history of physical oceanography and its evolution to the present. He has participated in five oceanographic cruises aboard Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ships Oceanus and Knorr and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ship Ronald H. Brown. In April 2010, he accompanied University of Miami scientists on a cruise aboard Knorr to the Agulhas Current, the Indian Ocean s western boundary current. In 2010, he returned to the waters north of Iceland with WHOI physical oceanographer Robert Pickart.".
