The Lee Shore
The Lee Shore: A Parable of Apocalypse, Carnal Knowledge & Quantum Theory; a Sailing Primer... & a Love Story
by Antony Innis Travers
It’s a common enough occurrence for a sailor to become romantically involved with a responsive vessel — though seldom so intimately. And many a mariner, becalmed, might have dreamt of a lover who could raise the wind — but few find such creatures in the local pub. With both in the same port, however... it’s just a matter of time before his sailboat invites his new girlfriend over for tea and a chat regarding polygamous marriage customs.
When charting a coastline that’s still a squalling infant is the family business, where you go from here is always the tricky part.

Among other things, Antony Innis Travers has been an environmental activist and seaman who pursued both callings in combination, from Norway's North Cape to Japan, through the Panama Canal and around Cape Horn. His wanderings had begun long before, however, after a personal disagreement with the federal government led to several expatriate years in Europe... then eventually across the Sahara into Africa, through the Khyber Pass toward India and Nepal... and somewhat beyond. Ecological threats so far-flung have left him with abiding concerns, and dealing with such diverse cultures has lent him a certain alien perspective on the one he happens to be in.
