A bitter divorce becomes the final straw in Andrew Kincaid's
already troubled life. With his wife and three children gone and
his self-esteem in ruins, the forty-one-year-old former sailor
burns all his bridges, quits his New York City job, and outfits a
thirty-eight-foot yacht for a daring solo voyage.
Once on his boat, the Picaroon, he spurns the easy route through
the Panama Canal, and instead, chooses a hazardous westward
rounding of the infamous Cape Horn, then a trans-Pacific passage to
Sydney, Australia, via Darwin's Galapagos, and the islands of
French Polynesia. Mountainous seas, hidden shoals, and dangerous
coral reefs challenge Kincaid's sailing and navigation skills on
his 20,000-mile odyssey.
However, a single shore leave in South America changes his life
in ways he could never have imagined. There he meets the boisterous
and hot-tempered ex-pat Australian, Kate Devonshire, a fugitive
running from a dark past; the two begin a sexually charged romance
in Rio de Janeiro. Eventually, Kincaid travels deep into the
parched barrens of the Queensland outback to the scene of a
psychopathic rampage that shocked a nation.
