Lee Shore Blues is not your average nautical book. Peter Heiberg takes us on an irreverent charge through the highlights of his life at sea, from evading the homosexual advances of a 300-pound steward in the mid-Pacific at 19 years of age, to rebuilding and sailing a thirty-ton engineless Bristol Channel pilot cutter from the UK to Canada’s west coast. After commercial fishing in the Queen Charlotte Islands, skippering a tug boat on the Inside Passage, and captaining a cruise ship in the Caribbean with a boatload of hookers on board, Peter concludes the volume with his ongoing single-handed ocean-racing idiocies. Not for those with delicate sensibilities, but definitely a book for lovers of great sea stories who enjoy hearing it like it really was.
