Waypoints

Ian Stephen

Adventure, memoir, storytelling and celebration of all things maritime meet in Waypoints, a beautifully written account of sea journeys around Scotland’s west coast. Ian Stephen reveals a lifetime’s love affair with sailing; each voyage honours a seagoing vessel, and each adventure is accompanied by a spell-binding retelling of a traditional tale about the sea. Ian’s writing is enchanting and lyrical, gentle but searching, and is accompanied by pen and ink illustrations of each vessel by artist Christine Morrison.

Waypoints is an absorbing read for anyone with a passion for sailing and the seas, Scotland’s landscape and coastlines, stories and the origins of language and literature.
