Equinox

Captain Ben Bass's attempt to compete in a high-speed, catamaran boat race offers an opportunity to explore the exciting and volatile Antilles Volcanic Arc; the island chain that developed as a result of centuries of plate tectonics. The race, sponsored by a wealthy French candy maker, brings Ben, his son Grant and his friend Harriet Jacobs to Guadeloupe, and offers a host of new, leading edge, technology business opportunities. Very large, great white sharks, illicit drugs and death on the Peace River in Central Florida form the backdrop to this blue-water adventure.
