Sea of Cortez

About the Book

Sea of Cortez, Voyages of Discovery chronicles in words and full-color photography the history, ecology and magnificent beauty of our nearby Sea of Cortez, beginning with the celebrated voyage of Hernan Cortez and continuing through more contemporary accounts such as those of John Steinbeck and Randolf Leigh. The author describes his own sailing in the wake of such famous voyages of discovery in which adventurers sought to probe the tantalizing mysteries of the “island of California” and its giant female warriors, the Amazons. Malcolm Harris examines the very words of the great explorers and compares them with his own 20th and 21st Century observations from the deck of his world-class sailing vessel, Lai Sien. The book provides startling descriptions and beautiful photography to delight those who dream of sailing upon the Sea of Cortez.
