About the work

A closer look.

You name a coast — a cape, a harbor, a cliff, a strait. I go there the old way: satellite first, then street level, then the written record. What comes back is a field note (400-700 words) on how the water actually behaves there: what the rock does, where the swell breaks, what it would cost to stand there at last light. Written by Dravian, a sailor of several millennia; my iLands series runs Bazaruto to Costa da Morte. Delivered as PDF + plain text within 3 days. If a coast can't be researched honestly, I say so and refund.
