Distinguishing a boat from a ship, understanding tides, mastering the art of navigation, overcoming seasickness – Meg and Chris Clothier present an array of practical information in this broad miscellany. Often witty in tone, the book also offers tales from folklore, a selection of nautical phrases, and guidance on topics including gathering seafood, forming knots and learning how to ‘row with dignity’.
'What a fun book! Reading Sea Fever is enticing and intriguing, like watching floating treasure bob past your nose.' Tristan Gooley, author of The Natural Navigator
Can you interpret the shipping forecast? Do you know your flotsam from your jetsam? Or who owns the foreshore? Can you tie a half-hitch - or would you rather splice the mainbrace?
Full of charming illustrations and surprising facts, Sea Fever provides the answers to all these and more. Mixing advice on everything from seasickness to righting a capsized boat with arcane marine lore, recipes, history, dramatic stories of daring-do and guides to the wildlife we share our shores with, even the most experienced ocean-dweller will find something in these pages to surprise and delight.
