The terms lee shore and windweather or ward shore are nautical terms used to describe a stretch of shoreline. A lee shore is one that is to the lee side of a vessel - meaning the wind is blowing towards it. A weather shore has the wind blowing from inland over it out to sea. For example, if you were standing on a beach, looking out to sea with the wind at your back, you are standing on a weather shore. If the wind is blowing at you, you are on a lee shore.
The Lee Shore
by David Crosby
from the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album "4 Way Street"
Wheel gull spin and glide ... you've got no place to hide
'Cause you don't need one
All along the Lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes, at me
From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
It's older than you know
It's still lying there where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
I dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roam
There I heard a story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island a day's run away from here
And it's empty and free
From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands
flung like jewels upon the sea
For you and me
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you, the next quiet place
I furl my sails.
Another David Crosby song forever in my head and heart. This was a major labour of love since my computer has got some major issues going on...I even had to go into my mouse and dissect it to make this happen ;-D...No, I could not wait...Lee Shore had to be made..mistakes and all..;-D This is where I come to escape life on life terms...I am very thankful to have here to come to. Thank you to those who join me here/hear. I thought this was a great version of The Lee Shore...Enjoy!
