Captain Linus is spit out of the Van Diemen Gulf twice by crazy currents and tries to avoid whirlpools and the lee shore of Melville Island with a cranky engine and a small sailboat that sails poorly to windward. He must reach Darwin in 24 hours despite the most challenging 100 nautical miles of the season.
