The rather wonderful Andrew McGahan has a new book out The Coming of the Whirlpool: Ship Kings 1, the first in a 
four-book franchise featuring the seafaring exploits of Dow Amber, a 
woodcutter's son who is destined to become the greatest mariner of his 
time.  Read the Sydney Morning Herald  interview here.
Classic quote: ''I don't know the sea, I've probably been on a ferry to Tasmania once and I remember a trip to the Barrier Reef with friends".

I will dispute the "allegation" that Andrew has ever been on a boat. Impossible!!
