About the Author:
Alan Gurney is a former yacht designer and photographer living in Suffolk, England. His previous books include Compass and Race to the White Continent.
Review:
Reading about ... shipboard journeys in Below the Convergence summons up again the almost tangible atmosphere, familiar from so many classic narratives, Melville and Marryat and Conrad, Dana and Slocum. It is at once homely and elementally drastic. -- The Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review, David Craig
