"The sea draws us to its shore, whether we know it or not. We are terrestrial creatures by origin and habit, yet spellbound by the mist of sea air and the lulling rhythm of waves upon a beach. It is not impossible to imagine our distant ancestors, men who were hardly men by contemporary standards, standing for the first time upon a beach or rocky headland wondering what was before them - and what was beyond. To this day we do the same. " - short excerpt from the Introduction.
