Dallas Murphy

Writer

Dallas joined Cape Farewell on the 2007 Art/Science expedition. Taking almost three weeks the expedition crossed the north Atlantic to the extreme frontline of climate change, then sailed south to explore East Greenland’s Blosseville Coast.

Dallas Murphy is the author of four novels, two plays, and most recently two non-fiction books.

"I published Rounding the Horn, about Cape Horn in 2004. I sailed down by the Horn in 2000 aboard Skip Novak’s Pelagic. Last month I published To Follow the Water, about oceanography today and the ocean’s influence on climate. I’m a serious sailor with a fair bit of offshore racing/cruising experience. And I’m delighted to be sailing with the Cape Farewell Project."
